Cubberley, about whom we can find no additional information. Original poster for an exhibition of naval aircraft at Philadelphia's Commercial Museum in 1919. Various aircraft are depicted in flight. Possibly done in-house for the museum, we have only seen or heard of one other example (on blue paper), and presume it to be rare.

1810 Neurology 1ed Brain Anatomy Spurzheim & Gall Physiognomy Phrenology FOLIOJohann Spurzheim was a notable Germany physician who was one of the most prestigious 19th-century doctors, along with Franz Gall, to endorse phrenology as a science. Gall and Spurzheim
"invented and advanced the 'science' of phrenology, a concept holding that the moral, sexual, and intellectual traits of an individual are linked to corresponding protuberances of the brain which in turn manifest themselves as lumps on the skull." (HoH 792)
Spurzheim, a native German speaker, produced several works on phrenology and physiognomical systems, in which he explored his theories on the human brain.
This enormous folio of "Anatomy of the Nervous System" is illustrated with 17 engravings of human anatomy and views of the brain and nervous system.
