19th C Scientific James DeVille L N Fowler Phrenology Plaster Bust Head Curio

About the Item

A larger than the normal plaster cast phrenology head, with its original painted finish and paper labels. The original makers label is partially missing leaving it a bit of a mystery, we believe the maker to be L.N Fowler who once operated at Ludgate Circus London. But we think the cast was originally owned by James De Ville. It was common practise for casts and mounts to be sold to others within the trade and with De Ville died 1846. And it's documented that Fowler did collect copies from the collection of the Edinburgh Phrenological Society and James De Ville in London. Age related wear to the original painted surface, and losses to the paper labels. Circa 1860 in age 25cm in height 12cm in width 14cm in depth
