Brain and mind; or, Mental science considered in accordance withthe principles of phrenology, and in relation to modern physiology

Drayton, H. S. (Henry Shipton), 1840-1923, McNeill, James, 1846-1916 · 1882 · New York, Fowler & Wells · 119 pictures

A phrenology textbook by H. S. Drayton and James McNeill, published in New York by Fowler & Wells in 1882, aimed at readers of mental science and physiology. Its pictures are small engraved portrait heads and half-length busts of men in period collars, cravats and coats, shown in profile and frontal views with fine hatched shading. A designer could take from them the plain, documentary look of nineteenth-century engraved portraiture and its hatching technique for vintage character studies.
