L'art de connaitre les hommes par la physionomie
A physiognomy treatise by Johann Caspar Lavater, published in Paris in 1806, presenting profile head studies of men and women to teach readers to read character from facial features. The pictures are fine-line outline drawings of profiles with carefully rendered curly hair, sharp noses and chins, and simple shoulder lines, useful to a designer wanting clean contour portraits or classical-style hairstyle studies.
