Useful Hands - Exploring the Science of the Hand in the 19th Century
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black and white lithograph, titled "Useful Hands" takes us back to the late 19th century when scientific exploration was at its peak. Created by Rosamund Brunel Horsley Gotch, this illustration is part of a collection that accompanied the translated work "The Science of the Hand" by M Le Capitaine Cs D Arpentigny. Intriguingly detailed, this print delves into cheirognomy, a study that seeks to understand human tendencies and characteristics through hand analysis. It serves as a visual guide for readers who sought to comprehend how our hands can reveal insights about our minds and bodies. With meticulous precision, Horsley beautifully captures various hand shapes and positions, allowing viewers to explore different archetypes associated with specific traits. The lithograph invites us on a journey of understanding as we observe hands engaged in activities such as reading or writing – actions that were considered significant indicators of one's intellect during that era. As we gaze upon this piece from Fine Art Finder's private collection, it reminds us of an era where scientific methods were employed to unravel mysteries hidden within ourselves. It serves as a testament to humanity's eternal quest for knowledge and self-discovery.
