Abstracts of Papers Read at the First International Eugenics Congress: University of London, July, 1912
International Eugenics Congress (1st : 1912 : London)
Eugenics -- Congresses
Francis I. of France, French School, XVI. Century. (Louvre.) Eyes
small, upper eye-lids peculiar, and typical of the period.
[Sidenote: S 4]
Louse de Rieux; Marquise d'Elboef, XVI. Century. (Louvre.) Naso-orbital
region typical, eyes small far apart, upper part of the nose broad and
flat, upper eye-lids long (vertical distance between eye and eye brow
considerable.)
[Sidenote: S 5]
Dr. Stokesley, Bishop of London (Holbein.) Eyes far apart upper part of
nose broad.
[Sidenote: S 6]
Jane Seymour (Holbein). Eyes far apart, upper eye lids characteristic.
[Sidenote: S 7]
Jean de Bourbon, Comte d'Enghien. XVI Century. Eyes far apart, upper
eye-lids vertically prominent.
[Sidenote: S 8]
Portrait of a young German gentleman.
The eye-lids are modern, that is the eyes are set in deeply under the
arch, but the eyes themselves are far apart, and the upper part of the
nose is broad.
[Sidenote: S 9]
Mary Queen of England. (National Portrait Gallery).
It would seem that allowance might be made for the crudity of the
portrait, but the naso-orbital region is typical of the northern races
during the XVI century.
[Sidenote: S 10]
Holbein's Duke of Norfolk. In the Royal Gallery at Windsor Castle.
Eyes are more deep-set under the superorbital arch than is usual in
portraits of the period, but the upper part of the nose is broad, and
eyes are far apart.
[Sidenote: S 11]
Henry VIII., attributed to Holbein but on doubtful authority.
Broad flat nose, small eyes set far apart, eye-brows arching upward
and outward. Observe the upper eye-lids in contrast to the Italian by
Lorenzo Lotto, which shows the usual modern type of eye-lid.
[Sidenote: S 12]
Portrait of the Prothonotary Apostolic Juliano. (Lorenzo Lotto.)
Modern type of face. Eyes deep set in under the superorbital arch and
eye-brow. Upper part of the nose delicate and projecting. This type of
face is occasionally, but only rarely met with north of the Alps during
the early period. It is common enough in portraits of Italians.
[Sidenote: S 13]
Portrait of a German scholar, by Holbein. Modern type, very rarely
found.
