Chiromancy Civilisation Cultural Foretelling Future Palmistry Physician Practitioner Predicting Prediction Read
EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph print titled "A Doctor" takes us back to the 19th century, a time when palmistry and chiromancy were popular methods of predicting the future. The illustration was created by an English School artist and is part of a private collection. The image portrays a doctor, or practitioner, deeply engrossed in reading the lines on someone's hand. With great precision, he examines every curve and crease, using his knowledge of palmistry to uncover hidden truths about their health and well-being. This artwork offers us a glimpse into the cultural and historical significance of these ancient practices. Ina Oxenford and Anna Macdowell Cosgrave's book "Life Studies in Palmistry" published in 1899 by L Upcott Gill, further emphasizes the importance placed on such predictions during that era. As we admire this lithograph, we are reminded of how our ancestors sought answers about their futures through alternative means. It serves as a testament to human curiosity and our desire for understanding beyond what science alone can offer. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from history for us to appreciate today. Its intricate details invite us to ponder upon the mysteries held within our own hands while reflecting on how far medicine has come since then.
