Introduction a l'étude philosophique et pratique de la phrénologie.
An 1845 Brussels French-language introduction to phrenology, held by Glasgow University Library and written for a general and philosophical readership studying skull-based theories of the mind. The four pictures are outline drawings of human skulls in profile and front-oblique views, with dotted guide lines and labels such as MOI and NON-MOI, showing how cranial regions were mapped. A designer might take from them the plain, schematic line-drawing style of nineteenth-century scientific diagrams, with bold contours and minimal shading.
