Vago, A. L. (Ambrose Lewis) · 1880 · London : [The author], [1880?]; London : Cassell, Petter, Galpin.. · 1 picture

The Alphabet of Phrenology, written by A. L. Vago and published in London around 1880, is a small instructional primer teaching the phrenological mapping of the skull to a general reader. The single picture is a woodcut-style schematic of a child's head and neck, its scalp divided into numbered zones like a chart, with numbers placed over the brow, crown and temples. A designer might take from it the clean, diagrammatic way the face and numbers are arranged over a plain ground.
