Elements of phrenology / By George Combe.
George Combe's Elements of Phrenology, published in Edinburgh and London in 1828, is a British treatise on the theory that mental faculties map onto regions of the skull, written for a general reading public. The plates show numbered phrenological head diagrams on busts and skulls, plus a measuring apparatus with arcs and calipers, with stiff, precise linework a designer could borrow for diagrammatic or scientific-chart styling.
