Phrenology Chart: Historical Map of Brain Functions and Personality Traits #178431 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white vintage illustration depicts a side-profile human head with segmented regions labeled according to 19th-century phrenological theory, attributing specific mental faculties-such as "Amativeness," "Conscientiousness," and "Ideality"-to distinct areas of the skull. Though scientifically discredited today, phrenology played a pivotal role in early neuroscience by encouraging systematic study of brain localization. The image reflects both the ambition and limitations of pre-modern neurology.
