The modern self-instructor in phrenology, physiology & physiognomy, or, The people's hand-book of human nature : containing a view of the moral and theological bearing of the science of phrenology / by Gustavus Cohen.
A late nineteenth-century popular handbook on phrenology and physiognomy by Gustavus Cohen, published by the author in Manchester in 1889 for general readers interested in character reading. Its pictures are wood-engraved paired profile and three-quarter head studies of bearded and moustached men in period dress, set on a cream ground, showing how the lines of hair, beard and collar build form and tone that a designer could borrow for hatching-based portraits.
