Faces we meet, and, how to read them / by R.B.D. Wells.
A late nineteenth-century popular manual on physiognomy, the reading of character from facial features, published in London by L.N. Fowler and in Leeds by F.R. Spark, with the author R.B.D. Wells. Its pictures are small wood-engraved portraits of men in frontal, three-quarter and profile views, rendered in dense hatching on a warm tan ground, useful to a designer wanting period character studies with strong line and cross-hatched shadow.
