Description
Lavater had persuaded Europe that the soul could be read in the features, and for a century people believed it: employers, judges, novelists and eventually criminologists. Antero Gomez's manual belongs to the popular end of that tradition — forehead, nose, chin, and what each reveals — written for readers who wanted a practical skill rather than a theory. It is worth reading precisely because it is not eccentric. This was ordinary knowledge, and following its confident inferences shows how a whole century learned to look at faces, and how easily the step from physiognomy to racial anthropology would be taken.
