Cesare Lombroso, London County Council, King's College London · 1892 · Paris : Félix Alcan, 1892. · 10 pictures

A French-language study of criminal anthropology and psychiatry by Cesare Lombroso, published in Paris by Félix Alcan in 1892, aimed at physicians, criminologists and scholars of physiognomy. Its pictures are plates of men's profiles numbered for comparison, alongside cropped halftone photographs of a man's head and a woman's bust in a patterned collar, with a designer able to borrow the clean profile line drawings and the ordered grid of numbered heads as a model for comparative layouts.
