| Description |
Chart showing racist depictions of fifty-four, bust-length, portraits of men and one woman of different "races" from eight
geographic regions to emphasize contrived differences in cranial characteristics. The “Geographical Distribution” includes
I. Arctic, II. Asiatic, III. European, IV. African, V. American, VI. Polynesian, VII. Malayan, and VIII. Australian. With
each region, six depictions of individuals of that race are shown, some facing forward and some in profile. Many of the individuals
are depicted as racist stereotypes. Many are attired in hats, turbans, or headdresses custom to their country of origin. In
the left, under the caption “Cranioscopic Examples,” nine different skulls in right profile are depicted. In the right, chart
sections include “Mankind, Grouped Physiologically” and “Linguistic Distinctions.”
