1867 Advertising Diagram Face Journal Phrenology Psychology Skull

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intriguing advertisement for the American Phrenological Journal, dating back to 1867. The image transports us to a time when psychology and human behavior were explored through the lens of phrenology, a pseudoscience popular in America during the mid-19th century. The ad features a meticulously detailed diagram of a skull, emphasizing its significance as the key to unlocking insights into one's character and personality. The composition is both visually striking and intellectually stimulating, with text accompanying the illustration that likely delves into the intricacies of this controversial field. As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported back in time to witness how people in middle America engaged with these ideas surrounding phrenology. The photograph allows us to appreciate not only the historical context but also highlights how advertising has evolved over time. It serves as a reminder that even then, companies sought innovative ways to capture attention and promote their products or services. Through this print from Granger Art on Demand's collection, we can delve into an era where psychology was still finding its footing as a science while simultaneously being influenced by societal beliefs. This thought-provoking image invites us to reflect on our own understanding of human nature and consider how far we have come since those early days of psychological exploration.
