Plate XIII reproduces Paul Richer's drawing of the mascaron keystone situated at the base of the bell tower of Santa Maria Formosa church in Venice. Plates XIV and XV are also photographic reproductions of Richer drawings, his interpretations of a clinical subject who is demonstrating spastic paralysis of the tongue. Plate XVI and the in-text figure 39 are the only photographic subjects. Except for the two clinical drawings, all of the images represent early architectural elements depicting rictus or facial paralysis of some kind.
