Appréciation phrénologique de Monsieur Triat / extrait d'une conférence donnée par le Dr Castle ... le 27 février 1859.
A Paris pamphlet of 1859 by Dr A. Castle, printed by Ch. Jouaust, giving a phrenological appraisal of a man named Triat drawn from a lecture. The single plate is a dignified engraved profile portrait of a bearded man with long wavy hair, shown in left profile against a soft shaded background, with an ornamental scroll and a signature below. A designer might borrow its tonal stipple shading and formal profile composition for period portraiture or vintage nineteenth-century typography.
