Physiognomik der geisteskrankheiten / Sir Alexander Morison.
A German-language psychiatric treatise by Alexander Morison, published in Leipzig in 1853, aimed at physicians studying mental illness through facial expression. Its pictures are soft graphite and lithograph portraits of patients with cropped backgrounds and visible pencil hatching, showing a young woman in a bonnet, an older woman, and two men in open collars; a designer could take their tonal shading and expressive, unposed faces as a model for character studies.
