A tip-tilted nose. In this, the nez retrousse, the end of the 

 nose is turned slightly upwards. Usually the nose is a small 

 one, and thin rather than snub. In some belief that it is a 

 peculiarity derived by inheritance from a habit of turning up 

 the nose, this peculiar form is supposed to imply a tendency 

 to impertinence on occasion, and there is a Roumanian proverb 

 to the effect that one up-tilted nose in a house is sufficient. 



A Roman nose. An aquiline nose. 



<A distinguished judge.) (That of Lorenzo de Medici.) 



The truncated nose. In this the end of the nose is usually 

 rather large, and looks as if the end had been cut off. It is 

 well exemplified in Lord Brougham's nose. 



The expression horse-nosed, is rather applicable to the whole 

 face than to the nose alone. In it the whole face, from 

 forehead to lips, is very long, and the nose both long and 

 large, with a certain degree of curve backwards at the chin. 

 It is, perhaps, equivalent to what is sometimes called hatchet- 

 faced.
