How to study strangers by temperament, face and head : A sequel to "Heads and faces" / by Nelson Sizer.
A 1895 phrenology manual by Nelson Sizer, published in New York by Fowler & Wells, teaching readers to judge strangers' character from temperament, face and head. The pictures are portrait heads of men in half-length view, mostly wood-engraved with a few halftone photographs, showing how facial profile and hair, beard and collar read as character types. A designer might take the cropped head-and-shoulders format, the hatched engraved tonal modelling and the period men's suiting and facial hair for vintage portrait work.
