An 1838 Edinburgh and London phrenology treatise by Sidney Smith, meant for general readers curious about reading character from the skull. Its pictures are plain line-drawn profiles of men with the numbered head-zones marked, which a designer might use for diagrammatic, scientific-classification looks or vintage medical-chart motifs.
