Familiar lessons on physiology and phrenology : for children and youth in two volumes / by L.N. Fowler.
Familiar Lessons on Physiology and Phrenology is an 1860 two-volume instruction book for children and youth by L. N. Fowler, published in New York by Fowler and Wells. The four pictures are small wood-engraved scenes of domestic and schoolroom life, with a seated adult and boys in a parlour, a boy with a cap before a stern elderly man, a boy reading beside a cat and shelves of jars, and a man reclining on a trunk. A designer could take from them the plain, sober staging of Victorian instructional illustration, with restrained cross-hatching and simple furniture.
