May, Mey, Philip · 1665 · A La Haye, chez Levijn Van Dyyck · 2 pictures

A 1665 medical treatise on palmistry, physiognomy and nail marks, written in German by Philippe May and translated into French by Philippe Henry Treusches, printed at The Hague by Levijn van Dyck for physicians and readers of medical literature. The title page is set in large spaced capitals with a centred printer's device and a small engraved portrait stamp, while the second plate shows a single outlined left hand with numbered lettered points on the palm, a clear diagram a designer could adapt for line-based anatomical or fortune-telling imagery.
