Notes and queries on anthropology, for the use of travellers and residents in uncivilized lands

British Association for the Advancement of Science · 1874 · London, E. Stanford · 7 pictures

An 1874 anthropology handbook published in London by E. Stanford for the British Association for the Advancement of Science, written as practical guidance for travellers and residents working in uncivilized lands. Its plates are black-and-white line engravings of prehistoric flint implements, labelled by figure number, and a human skull drawn from two angles, offering a designer a dry, schematic, museum-catalogue look built from fine parallel hatching.
