Description

Book titled 'Physiologie ou l’Art de connaître les hommes sur leur physionomie', published in 1797. Extracted from Lavater and other prominent authors, the text includes observations on figures from the French Revolution. The book is bound in paper with signs of wear appropriate for its age. The pages show clear and legible text, although the paper has a yellowish tone due to the passage of time. The binding is simple, typical of the late 18th century.
