Physiognomy. A practical and scientific treatise
A practical treatise on physiognomy, the reading of character from facial features, written by Mary Olmstead Stanton and printed in San Francisco in 1881 for the author through a local news company. Its pictures are small wood-engraved head-and-shoulders portraits of men in early nineteenth-century dress, with hatched shading and cream-toned paper, offering a designer examples of crosshatch rendering for period character studies.
