Things will get better.
This somber fellow illustrated the “Face” article in Robert Bentley Todd’s Cyclopaedia of Anatomy and Physiology. He was drawn by Richard Partridge, a (brace yourself) crime-fighting medical doctor of the Victorian era, who learned about illustration from his brother, John Partridge, portrait painter-extraordinary to the queen.
Basically, he seems to have been a steampunk Buckaroo Banzai.
