Lorenzo N. Fowler · 1895 · London : L.N. Fowler, [1895] · 70 pictures

A late nineteenth-century London phrenology manual by Lorenzo N. Fowler, published by L.N. Fowler in 1895 to teach readers to read character from head shape and physiognomy. Its pictures are plain black-and-white engravings of men's heads in profile and three-quarter views, with numbered points and hair marked to show skull regions. A designer could take their clear outline style and the way lines describe hair and facial texture.
