The science of the hand, or, The art of recognising the tendencies of the human mind by the observation of the formations of the hands = la science de la main / translated from the French of C.S. D'Arpentigny and edited ... by Ed. Heron-Allen ; with original plates and explanatory diagrams by Rosamund Brunel Horsley.
A palmistry treatise published in London in 1886, translated from the French of C.S. d'Arpentigny and edited by Ed. Heron-Allen, with plates by Rosamund Brunel Horsley. The illustrations are for readers interested in reading character from hand shapes. The pictures are fine pencil-like engravings of hands in several views, with a few anatomical diagrams of muscles and tendons on the back of the hand and wrist. A designer might take the hand studies as sensitive examples of tonal shading and contour on a cream ground.
