Phrenology, or, Heads, and what they tell us / by W. Pugin Thornton.
A late Victorian popular treatise on phrenology, written by W. Pugin Thornton and published in London in 1896 by Sampson, Low, Marston for a general reading audience. Its pictures are simple pen-and-ink profiles and frontal portraits of men's heads, with faint guide lines and shading that show how skull shape was measured and read. A designer could draw on the clean outline style and the head-measuring grids for vintage science or pseudoscience themes.
