Fowler on Matrimony: or, Phrenology and Physiology Applied to the Selection of Congenial Companions for Life; including Directions to the Married for Living Together Affectionately and Happily
No collection of vintage medical drawings would be complete with some some phrenology, no matter how much of a pseduo-science we know it to be today. Fowler on Matrimony: or, Phrenology and Physiology Applied to the Selection of Congenial Companions for Life; including Directions to the Married for Living Together Affectionately and Happily by O.S. Fowler in 1842, a "practical phrenologist" attempts to take measurements of the brain and apply them to problems with a person's disposition.
In this text he writes about "the Fond Mother," including both drawings of a woman with with a diagram seemingly labeling the traditional regions of phrenology and taking measurments of her skull and assigning them various meanings. Perhaps his work goes right over the poorly formed skull of this writer, but there seems to be little more to deciphered and explained here.
