EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Mounts and Phalanges, 1912" takes us back to the early 20th century. The close-up image showcases a delicate hand of a child, with its fingers elegantly spread out against a cream background. The studio shot captures every intricate detail of the palmistry diagram imprinted on the young palm. The monochrome print is not only an object of beauty but also holds historical significance as it comes from "The Book of Sports & Pastimes for Young People" by J. K. Benson, published in London in 1912. This book was undoubtedly cherished by many children during that era. Palm reading or fortune telling has always intrigued people throughout centuries, and this image provides a glimpse into one aspect of this ancient practice. The lines on the palm are meticulously illustrated, allowing us to explore the art of divination through hands. As we examine this mesmerizing print from Heritage Images, we can't help but be transported to another time - a time when such pastimes were popular among both young and old alike. It serves as a reminder that even though times change, our fascination with understanding ourselves through various means remains constant. Let this evocative photograph take you on a journey into the past while igniting your curiosity about palmistry and its enduring allure across generations.
