Beitraege zur Craniologie / von Th. Landzert.

Landzert Th., Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh · 1867 · Frankfurt a. M. : C. Winter, 1867. · 13 pictures

A German craniology treatise by Th. Landzert, published in Frankfurt am Main by C. Winter in 1867, aimed at medical and anatomical readers interested in phrenology. Its plates show human skulls in three views each: top, front and side, with sutures traced in fine hatching and some lower views of the base and brain. For a designer, the plates offer clean, precise line drawing of bone form, with stippled seams and dense shading that suggest a scientific, measured style.
