Franz Joseph Gall / von P. J. Möbius.

Paul Julius Möbius · 1905 · Leipzig : Verlag von Johann Ambrosius Barth, 1905. · 10 pictures

A 1905 Leipzig monograph by neurologist Paul Julius Möbius on the phrenologist Franz Joseph Gall, written for a scholarly readership interested in the history of medicine and psychology. Its pictures pair photographs of human skulls, shown in profile and frontal views, with line diagrams of the skull surface divided into numbered organ regions. A designer might take from them the stark tonal contrast of the black-backed skull photographs and the clean hatched-field diagrams used for mapping a surface.
