Phrenological illustrations, or An artist's view of the craniological system of Doctors Gall and Spurzheim / by George Cruikshank.
A satirical series of hand-coloured etchings by George Cruikshank, published in London by F. Arnold in 1873, mocking the phrenology of Gall and Spurzheim by caricaturing human faculties such as language, hope and size. Each small vignette is captioned with a faculty name and shows a comic street or domestic scene that acts out the trait. A designer could draw on the compact framed vignettes around a central scene, the exaggerated caricatured figures, and the lettered captions.
