This black and white lithograph, titled "A Doctor" captures the essence of 19th-century medical practice. The image showcases a skilled practitioner engrossed in reading the lines on a patient's hand, delving into the realm of chiromancy and palmistry. This intriguing illustration was originally created as an accompaniment to Ina Oxenford and Anna Macdowell Cosgrave's book, "Life Studies in Palmistry" published by L Upcott Gill in 1899. The doctor's focused expression reveals his dedication to unraveling the mysteries held within each individual's hand. With precision and expertise, he deciphers these intricate lines to predict future outcomes and offer insights into one's health. This art piece not only reflects the cultural significance placed on divination practices during this era but also provides a glimpse into historical medical techniques.
