Crania americana or, A comparative view of the skulls of various aboriginal nations of North and South America : to which is prefixed an essay on the varities of the human species / by Samuel George Morton.
Crania americana is an 1839 Philadelphia treatise by Samuel George Morton, published by J. Dobson, comparing skulls of Native American nations and prefacing them with an essay on human varieties, with George Combe credited in the record. Its plates show skulls drawn in profile, from above and from the front, in both outline and shaded lithograph; a designer might borrow the clean, measured layouts of paired views and the pale hatched shading of bone.
