Coloured etching by George Cruikshank, 1826, after H.T.D.B. The phrenologist is identified in the British Museum catalogue as J. De Ville, a phrenologist in the Strand.

On back wall, craniological drawings framed in swept frames Quatrain etched below image: "Pores o'er the cranial map with learned eyes, Each rising hill and bumpy knoll descries, Here secret fires, and there deep mines of sense His touch detects beneath each prominence". A scroll next to a phrenological head is inscribed "Thurtell shown to be craniologically an excellent character" (Thurtell was hanged as a murderer) Lettering Bumpology. "pores o'er the cranial map ...beneath each prominence". H.T.D.B. Esq. del. Etched by G.C.k Iconographic Collections |
