Character, and its external signs.
A London book of 1865 published by Blackwood, written by J. C. S., on phrenology and the outward marks of character, aimed at general readers curious about reading personality from the head. Its pictures are solid black profile silhouettes of heads in side view, cut out against a plain ground, showing differing brow, nose, chin and hair outlines. A designer could draw on them for bold cut-paper profile shapes or graphic head silhouettes that read clearly at small sizes.
