Thesaurus craniorum : catalogue of the skulls of the various races of man, in the collection of Joseph Barnard Davis.
Thesaurus craniorum is a mid-nineteenth-century scientific catalogue of human skulls from the various races of man, compiled by the physician Joseph Barnard Davis and printed in London in 1867 for subscribers. Its pictures are plain engraved side and top views of skulls, with fine hatching that models bone curvature and suture lines, useful to a designer wanting clean anatomical line drawings with restrained shading.
