EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print titled "A Professor of History" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of chiromancy and palmistry. The image showcases an English School professor engrossed in reading a hand, delving deep into its lines and creases to unravel its secrets. The print was originally created as an illustration for the book "Life Studies in Palmistry" by Ina Oxenford and Anna Macdowell Cosgrave, published in 1899. It beautifully captures the cultural fascination with prediction and foretelling prevalent during that era. In this monochromatic black-and-white artwork, we witness not only a historical depiction but also a reflection of our human desire to understand ourselves better through divination practices. The professor's intense concentration reveals his dedication to deciphering the mysteries held within each individual's hand. As we gaze upon this lithograph, we are reminded of how history intertwines with our present-day lives. It serves as a testament to the enduring curiosity about our future and our relentless pursuit of knowledge about ourselves. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from their private collection, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and its significance in understanding past cultures. This print invites us on a journey through time, reminding us that even centuries-old practices can still captivate our imagination today.
