EDITORS COMMENTS
This phrenological head print, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a fascinating glimpse into the historical understanding of the human mind and its various functions. Dating back to circa 1870, this intriguing image showcases the different categories of the brain as identified by the pseudoscience of phrenology. Phrenology, a popular belief system during the 19th century, posited that the human skull was the external manifestation of the brain and that specific mental faculties could be located in distinct areas. The phrenological head in this print is depicted with various bumps and indentations, each representing the supposed location of specific mental abilities. For instance, the areas labeled "Self-Perceptive" and "Aspiring" are believed to be associated with self-awareness and ambition, respectively. The "Animal Morals" category is shown as a series of smaller bumps, suggesting a connection between our animal instincts and our moral compass. It is essential to note that phrenology has long been debunked as a scientifically invalid theory. However, its historical significance lies in its influence on the way people perceived the human mind and its functions. This print serves as a reminder of the rich history of ideas and theories that have shaped our understanding of the human psyche. Moreover, the intricate detail and artistic execution of this phrenological head print make it an intriguing piece of historical art, worthy of display in any home or office. With its paranormal and intellectual allure, this print is sure to spark conversations and ignite the imagination of all who behold it.
