The self-instructor in phrenology and physiology : with over one hundred new illustrations, including a chart for the use of practical phrenologists.
A late nineteenth-century phrenology manual by the Fowler brothers and Nelson Sizer, published in New York by Fowler & Wells, intended for self-taught readers and practical phrenologists. Its pictures are small wood-engraved profiles and three-quarter views of men and young people, with hatched shading that models hair, cheeks and collars; a designer could borrow the dense cross-hatching and the stiff, earnest poses of Victorian portrait prints.
