A phrenology-era anatomical appendix by Johann Gaspard Spurzheim, published in London in 1830 by Treuttel, Würtz, and Richter, for readers of medicine and phrenology. Its four plates show the human brain from above and below, with lettered and numbered markers keyed to the cortical folds, drawn in fine stippled shading that gives the convolutions a soft, sculpted, three-dimensional quality a designer could borrow for organic textures or tonal study.
