Illustrations of phrenology / by Sir G. S. Mackenzie.
This 1820 Edinburgh book by Sir George Steuart Mackenzie presents phrenology, the early theory that mental faculties map onto skull regions, with plates for a readership of physicians and students of the mind. Its plates pair engraved skull profiles, marked with numbered faculty zones, against pencil studies of male heads in profile, offering a designer clean monochrome line work with cream-toned paper and strong side-view silhouettes.
