How to read character : a new illustrated hand-book of phrenology and physiognomy, for students and examiners : with a descriptive chart
A phrenology and physiognomy handbook by Samuel R. Wells, published in New York by Fowler & Wells in 1890, written as a practical guide for students and examiners of character. Its pictures are small wood-engraved head and profile portraits of men in period collars and cravats, with hatched shading that models the faces; a designer could take from them the compact, tonal engraving style used to render individual character types in a series.
