Lenses suited for traditional portrait photography are medium telephoto lenses, in the 85mm-135mm range, which provide the desired perspective distortion in head and shoulders shots (compressing facial features)

isn't this the traditional range?

From the article quoted in another post:

http://natalispalette.jimdo.com/new-and-old-camera-lenses-by-yuri-stangrit/usable-lens-tips/right-focal-length-choice-for-the-face-portraiture/

"Conclusion: The best choice for face portrait - a lens with a focal length in 170-200mm range (FF efficient)."
