Phrenology

We looked at a bust with parts of the the head colored and were asked to figure out what it was. I noticed a name L.N. Fowler and researched it. It brought me to a website with a biography of Lorenzo Niles Fowler. I then learned about phrenology and how it became popular and how it died out. The provenance of this replica was made by Authentic Models in Oregon. Provenance is the origin of something or the earliest history. Though this is a replica and considered as a secondary source for phrenology it could be a primary sourced if you were to find what types of products Authentic Models make.
