Manual of phrenology : as an accompaniment to the phrenological bust.
A phrenology manual published in London around 1828 by James De Ville, written to accompany a phrenological bust for readers studying the supposed mapping of character onto the skull. The four pictures are engraved frontal views of faces with closed eyes, showing varied brow, nose, and jaw shapes that a designer could use for period studies of physiognomy and head types.
