Manual of phrenology / by J. Epps.
A manual of phrenology by John Epps, M.D., published in London by Sherwood, Gilbert & Co. around 1830 to 1839, written as a practical guide for readers interested in the reading of character from the skull. The picture shows an engraved frontal head and two profile heads, each divided into numbered faculty zones with a dense pattern of fine hatching and dotted shading. A designer might take the numbered segmented head as a diagram motif, with its tidy grid of cells and warm sepia paper tone.
