Phrenological plate of seven portrait heads, 1835
A black-and-white line engraving plate shows seven head portraits in two rows, each labeled with a name in print, including Bacon, Kant, Van Dyck, Sterne and Duguesclin. Numbered markers and fine hatching on the heads and busts suggest a phrenological diagram, mapping faculties across the skull of each figure.
