The inventor of the
Photofit kit, Jacques Penry, suggested a direct link between a human’s physique and their personality: philosophers, for example, would show a marked development of the lower cheek muscles, while idiots and simpletons would invariably possess a receding forehead. Scotland Yard gave the
Photofit kit a go in 1970. The kits come in wooden boxes, containing narrow paper strips with various facial features with transparencies for glasses or wrinkles.Â
