Nouveau syste buccognomonique, bassur la doctrine des plus cres physiognomonistes, et principalement sur la douverte d'un alphabet buccal, c'est-dire sur les signes caractistiques et rateura de la bouche humaine / par William Rogers.
A mid-nineteenth-century French treatise, published in Paris in 1851, by William Rogers, a dentist, presenting a system of reading character from the mouth in the manner of physiognomy. The single picture is a lithographed portrait of a bearded man in a dark coat with a cravat, shown in three-quarter view with hands folded, offering a restrained model of mid-century bourgeois portraiture for period-styled design work.
