Library of mesmerism and psychology
A nineteenth-century American compendium on mesmerism and psychology, published in New York in 1871 by S.R. Wells with several contributing authors, offering readers a survey of animal magnetism and the mind. Its pictures are dense black-and-white engravings of the brain sectioned in different planes, with fine hatched shading and labelled letters, offering a designer a clear model for anatomical line work, cross-hatched texture, and scientific diagram layout.
