Theory on the classification of beauty and deformity, and their correspondence with physiognomic expression : exemplified in various works of art, and natural objects, and illustrated with four general charts, and thirty-eight copper plates
A 1815 London treatise by Mary Anne Schimmelpenninck, with engravings by William Henry Brooke and others, published by John and Arthur Arch, classifying beauty and deformity through physiognomy and illustrated with tinted copper plates of heads and faces. The pictures are tinted profile and three-quarter portrait busts labelled with character names such as Indolent Lady, set in ochre or pink roundels and octagons, useful to a designer for studying expression as drawn caricature-like types.
