Notes on noses / [by Eden Warwick [pseud.]].

Warwick, Eden, pseud. · 1857 · London : Richard Bentley, 1857.; London : Harrison. · 16 pictures

A small 1857 London book on physiognomy, published by Richard Bentley under the pseudonym Eden Warwick, with its noses discussed through engraved profile portraits of historical figures. The four pictures are wood-engraved profile heads in oval or vignette frames, one in a wig, one in a laurel wreath, and two in later dress and hair, with cross-hatched and striated backgrounds a designer could borrow for cameo or medallion effects.
