Life of Dr. Franc̦ois Joseph Gall : craniologist and founder of phrenology / by Miss Jessie A. Fowler, F.A.I., co-editor of "The phrenological magazine"; "The phrenological dictionary"; and "Phrenology proved".
A biography of the German physician Franz Joseph Gall, founder of phrenology, written by Jessie Allen Fowler and published in London and New York in 1896 for readers interested in the theory of skull-reading. The four portraits show men and one bust in profile and three-quarter views, rendered as pencil drawings, engravings, paintings and halftone photographs; a designer might draw on their plain, dignified portrait conventions of tight cropping, soft tonal shading and side-facing poses.
