Title
Advertisement for performance by Professor J. A. Stephenson, Practical Phrenologist
Description
Advertisement for performance by Professor J. A. Stephenson, Practical Phrenologist with prices. Phrenology, considered a pseudoscience today, refers to the practice of measuring skull size and shape to determine a person’s character traits and behavioural patterns. The practice was deeply rooted in racial pseudoscientific theories. These may appear in the papers of George Combe (1788-1858) and his brother Andrew Combe, who founded the Edinburgh Phrenological Society in 1920. For this advert, two women illustrated are the subjects of phrenological examination.
