The self-instructor in phrenology and physiology : with over one hundred new illustrations, including a chart for the use of practical phrenologists / by O.S. and L.N. Fowler. Rev. by Nelson Sizer.
A late nineteenth-century instruction manual on phrenology, the supposed reading of character from head shape, written by Orson S. Fowler and revised by Nelson Sizer and published in New York in 1889 for self-taught students of the subject. Its pictures are pairs of engraved head-and-shoulders portraits of men in profile and three-quarter views, drawn in dense parallel hatching on a tan ground, useful to a designer wanting vintage line-engraving portraiture with strong contour and hair texture.
