Phrenology temperament plate: bilious and nervous heads
A black-and-white engraved plate shows two male heads: an upper profile of a bearded man with curly hair, labeled Bilious, and a lower three-quarter view of a man with a high collar, labeled Nervous. Fine hatching models the faces on a pale ground, with PL. I at top right, illustrating temperament types in George Combe's 1845 phrenology text.
