Franz Joseph Gall leading a discussion on phrenology with five colleagues, among his extensive collection of skulls and model heads. Coloured etching by T. Rowlandson, 1808.
A hand-coloured caricature etching shows a man in a green coat gesturing as he lectures, holding up a skull while five older men lean in around him. Shelves behind them hold rows of skulls and carved head busts, and bones and skulls lie in the foreground.
