Hand-coloured engraving published by S W Fores (50 Piccadilly, London) 10 November 1813. A humorous illustration of a group of men, a chair, floorboards and a dog being thrown upwards by an explosion from a gas pipe.

Gas street lighting was introduced and promoted in London by the German entrepreneur Frederick Albert Winsor (d 1830). Prior to this, the streets were lit by oil lamps. In 1807 Winsor lit Pall Mall with gas, establishing the world's first gas company in 1809-1810. ©SSPL/Science Museum

UIS5062672 Phrenology ïPhrenological Illustrations, or the Science Practically Developed', 1824. Coloured etching by Marks, published by S W Fores of 41 Piccadilly, London, showing two military gentlemen being examined by a large group of elegantly-dressed phrenologists in order to judge their chracter. The Viennese physician Franz Joseph Gall (1758-1828) proposed that the contours of the skull followed the brain's shape, with each region responsible for an aspect of personality or behaviour. Feeling the lumps was like reading the mind. He called his system organology, but it later became known as phrenology, derived from the Greek word ïphren for mind. Phrenology never achieved the status of an accredited science, although the principle that many functions are localised in the brain is now widely accepted. ©SSPL/Science Museum
