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 hand-book by Samuel R. Wells, published in New York by Fowler & Wells in 1891, meant for students and examiners of character. Its pictures are wood-engraved profile and three-quarter portraits of men in 19th-century collars and coats, with hatching that models faces and clothing; a designer might take its crisp cross-hatched shading and stock period portrait treatment for vintage character studies.
