The study of the human face / by Thomas Woolnoth.
A London physiognomy treatise by Thomas Woolnoth, published by W. Tweedie in 1865, drawn from the Countway Library of Medicine's holdings and aimed at readers interested in reading character from facial features. The four pictures are close-up stipple-and-line engravings of faces in varied expressions, from a calm, downcast woman to a grimacing man with wide eyes and a clenched mouth. A designer could draw on their fine dotted shading and the strong contrast of exaggerated expressions for character studies.
