See the original page — Friendly 2008, Fig. 25, p. 29 (reproducing Bertillon 1891, Pl. 2)

The opened page is a 2008 article, so test A (published 2008) fails and test B fails too (a 2008 article by a later author, not a work from 1955 or earlier); the 1891 Bertillon plate itself (d.1922) would pass both if a scan of the Atlas rather than of Friendly is used.

The data it needs
