Notes on the United States of North America, during a phrenological visit in 1838-9-40
George Combe's 1841 Philadelphia travel account of phrenological visits to the United States in 1838-40, written for a British and American readership interested in head-reading and national character. Its pictures are plain line engravings of heads in profile and three-quarter view, with lettered guide lines and bald or hair-covered skulls, offering a designer clear, diagrammatic head forms to adapt.
