Comparison of Germanic and African skulls, early 19th century. 1: Germanic skull with all the marks of a European head. 2: African skull: The arching of the forehead considered separately is by no means so stupid as the other parts evidently appear to be. From an early 19th century edition of Essays in Physiognomy by Johann Kaspar Lavater.
