Physiognomy illustrated; or, nature's revelations of character. A description of the mental, moral, and volitive dispositions of mankind, as manifested in the human form and countenance
A nineteenth-century physiognomy manual by Joseph Simms, published in New York in 1887, offering a classification of human character read from facial features. Its pictures are small wood-engraved head portraits in profile and three-quarter view, showing hatching, cross-hatching and heavy outline that a designer could borrow for vintage portrait treatments.
