Histoire des penchans et des sentimens de l'homme, d'après la doctrine de Gall / Par F.Ch. Ornée de vingt portraits.
A French phrenology volume of 1829 published in Paris by L. Baume, written by F. Ch. after the teachings of Franz Joseph Gall and adorned with twenty portraits for readers interested in the character of the human mind. The plates are pen-and-ink or stipple-style line portraits of men in period dress and wigs, drawn in profile and three-quarter views with a sepia tint, and a designer could draw on their hatching, fine contour lines and flowing hair for historical character studies.
