Perin's science of palmistry; a complete and authentic treatise
A popular palmistry manual by Carl Louis Perin, published in Chicago by Star Publishing Co. in 1902 for amateur readers learning to read hands. The plates are brush-and-pen outline drawings of open palms, each reduced to a heavy contour and a few schematic crease lines, useful as stark hand silhouettes, line-quality studies, or occult diagram motifs.
