A French physiognomy study published in Paris in 1865 by Pierre Gratiolet, a French anatomist and brain researcher, with a biographical notice by L. Grandeau, written for readers interested in facial expression and anatomy. Its pictures are fine pen-and-ink studies of posed figures in profile and three-quarter views, plus one engraved portrait of a bearded man, showing how bodies and faces convey emotion through posture, gesture and outline.
