Lavater 1741-1801 "was the last and most influential of the descriptive physiognomists a class of pseudo-scientists who attempted to ascertain character on the basis of physical features.Von der Physiognomik 1772 an unillustrated two volume book was Lavater's first work on the subject; this was later expanded with the help of Goethe into the four-volume Physiognomische Fragmente 1775-1778 and further perfected in a French translation Essais sur la physiognomie.supervised by Lavater himself. Lavater's physiognomy differed from those of his predecessors in that he paid special attention to the structure of the head particularly the foreheadâ€”a form of psychological indexing that exerted some influence on the development of phrenology and brain localization theories in the early nineteenth century. Lavater's work also influenced artists of the period both in the overall creation of portraits and in the use of his physiognomical theories to construct individual faces in historical paintings" Norman Library. Lavater's work on physiognomy was extremely popular and by 1810 sixteen German twenty English fifteen French two American two Russian one Dutch and one Italian versions had appeared. Among the portraits included are those of Descartes Locke Milton Newton Vesalius Voltaire and George Washington. Garrison and Morton. Norman Library. Osler 3178.
