These four pages were removed from "The Book of Health," copyrighted in 1885. Published by W.P. Mason of Providence, RI, these books contained information on health and wellness, as well as information on medicinal plants, and were intended as reference books for families and laypeople. The book featured several inserts with hinged flaps, which could be lifted to reveal successively deeper underlying anatomical layers of various parts of the body. This set, of the head, has the final image (in upper left) of a phrenological map showing which areas of the brain were once believed to control certain behaviors and urges. Colors are vivid, in a 4-window matte with incised border, framed under glass. Dimensions: 26" square Pickup category timeslot {A}
