Phrenologische Bilder : zur Naturlehre des menschlichen Geistes und deren Anwendung Wissenschaft und Leben
A German phrenology book by Gustav Scheve, published in Leipzig in 1855 by J.J. Weber, intended for readers interested in the study of mental faculties and their practical application. The pictures are stippled and hatched engraved profile portraits of heads, showing skull shape and facial features in side view, with a few paired head-and-shoulders studies of men; a designer might take the stipple texture and strong profile silhouettes as models for tonal portrait work.
