I Covet Your Skull

In The Hound of the Baskervilles, Dr. James Mortimer says to Sherlock Holmes:
I had hardly expected so dolichocephalic a skull or such well-marked supra-orbital development. Would you have any objection to my running my finger along your parietal fissure? A cast of your skull, sir, until the original is available, would be an ornament to any anthropological museum. It is not my intention to be fulsome, but I confess that I covet your skull.

Surely that is Photoshop.

* Probably * photoshop. A Reddit picture. Close enough to what we see in some dogs though. You’d think pugs, bulldogs and pekingese were photoshop too if they weren’t so common.
