EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Mount of Venus (colour litho)" takes us on a journey into the world of palmistry. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 20th century, this image is part of a private collection that showcases the intricate art of character analysis through hand reading. The focal point of this print is the Mount of Venus, located on the third phalange of the thumb. This mount symbolizes various qualities such as a love for beautiful things, an appreciation for melodious music, and indulgence in sensory pleasures. As we gaze at this image, we are reminded that our hands hold secrets about our personality and future. The vibrant colors and detailed lines bring life to every finger and line etched on the palm. It serves as a reminder that chirology or palmistry has been practiced since ancient times to gain insights into one's character traits and potential destiny. This print was originally featured as part of a set of cigarette cards published by Carreras Ltd during the early 20th century. Its inclusion in these collectible cards demonstrates society's fascination with divination practices like palmistry during that era.
