Notes on the United States of North America, during a phrenological visit in 1838-9-40
George Combe's 1841 Philadelphia travel account of a phrenological tour of the United States in 1838 to 1840, written for British and American readers interested in phrenology and American society. The pictures are wood-engraved profile and frontal head diagrams, including a marked skull outline with measurement lines and figures with flattened or sloped heads, which a designer might use for diagrammatic, scientific-looking line work with clean outlines and hatched shading.
