Physiognomy founded on physiology, and applied to various countries, professions, and individuals;
Alexander Walker's 1834 London treatise, published by Smith, Elder and Co., argues that facial character can be read from physiology and applies that reasoning to nations, trades and named individuals. Its plates are fine pencil and line drawings of skulls set in profile, alongside a studied portrait in profile and sketched facial profiles, offering a designer clear models of profile outline and cranial structure.
