The screenshot shows a webpage from The Guardian titled "Django Unchained and the racist science of phrenology." The article discusses the debunked practice of phrenology, which claimed that skull shape could determine mental characteristics. This idea was widely popular in the 19th century but has since been discredited. The text references a historical figure named Charles Caldwell, a doctor from Kentucky who was involved in phrenology and slave ownership. Caldwell traveled to Paris in the 1820s to engage with contemporary medical trends. The article draws parallels between Caldwell and characters from the film "Django Unchained." Below the text is a sepia-toned portrait of a man identified as Charles Caldwell. He has a long white beard and a serious expression. His attire is formal, typical of the 19th-century style, with dark clothing that contrasts with his white beard and hair. The composition is simple and focused on Caldwell's face, emphasizing his historical significance in the context of the article. - Title: "Django Unchained and the racist science of phrenology" - Site / app: "theguardian.com"
