EDITORS COMMENTS
This copperplate engraving, titled "Anatomy of the Human Skull," is a remarkable illustration from Abraham Rees' Cyclopedia or Universal Dictionary of Arts, Sciences and Literature, published in London in 1820. The engraving, created by Wilson Lowry after a drawing by J. Farey, offers a unique and intriguing perspective on the anatomy of the human skull, with a focus on the cranial variations among individuals from diverse ethnic backgrounds. The illustration features five skulls, each representing a distinct ethnic group: a Georgian female, a Turk, an African, a Calmuck, and a Carib. The Georgian female skull is depicted with a rounded forehead and a relatively small, heart-shaped cranium. The Turk skull shows a more elongated skull shape, a characteristic that was once believed to be indicative of Mongolian or Central Asian ancestry. The African skull is depicted with a prominent brow ridge and a more rounded, flattened cranium. The Calmuck skull, representing individuals from the Caucasus region, is shown with a high, narrow forehead and a prominent occipital bone. Lastly, the Carib skull, representing the indigenous peoples of the Caribbean, is depicted with a relatively small cranium and a flat, wide forehead. This enlightening illustration not only showcases the anatomical variations among different ethnic groups but also reflects the scientific curiosity and interest in anthropology during the Georgian era. The intricate detail and precision of the copperplate engraving make it a valuable historical artifact, providing insights into the scientific and cultural contexts of the time.
