EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fascinating artifact from the past - a Phrenological chart of Sarah Betteleys head, undertaken by Thomas Adair in Sheffield, Yorkshire, in 1845. The detailed chart was created by Adair, an Honorary Member of the Sheffield Phrenological Society and Mesmeric Demonstrator. The phrenological study aimed to understand human personality traits and mental abilities based on the shape and size of different areas of the skull. In this particular case, Sarah Betteleys' head is described as being about average in size with a temperament characterized as bilious, nervous, and sanguine. Phrenology gained popularity during the 19th century as it attempted to provide insights into individual character and potential through cranial analysis. This unique artifact offers us a glimpse into both scientific practices and societal beliefs prevalent at that time. Preserved within Sheffield Libraries' archives (arc02590), this original piece provides valuable historical context for researchers interested in exploring the development of phrenology or understanding how society approached psychology during this era. It is important to note that this photograph should not be used for commercial purposes but rather appreciated for its historical significance.
