Elements of phrenology / By George Combe. From the fifth Edinburgh improved and enlarged edition. With illustrations.
A phrenology textbook by George Combe, a Scottish writer, published in New York and Boston in 1846 as an illustrated handbook for general readers and students of the subject. Its pictures are wood-engraved skulls shown in profile and from the front, with numbered regions and cross marks, offering a designer a clear vocabulary of old scientific diagrams with hatched shading and dense line-work.
