The twelve qualities of mind, or, Outlines of a new system of physiognomy, no. II / by J.W. Redfield.
An 1850 New York publication by James W. Redfield, the second part of an outline system of physiognomy that reads character from head and face shapes, aimed at a general reading public. Its pictures are small wood-engraved profile heads of different people, drawn in a plain, sketchy line, with hair, ears, noses and chins compared side by side; a designer could take from them the flat, diagrammatic style of mid-century pseudo-scientific illustration.
