The science of palmistry and its relations to astrology and phrenology
A self-published palmistry manual by Irene M. Smith, printed in Tacoma, Washington, in 1901 for readers learning to read hands alongside astrology and phrenology. Heavy pen outlines of open palms carry labelled lines and starred marks — "danger of violent death," "poor health," "conic hand" — giving designers diagram-style hand silhouettes and handwritten annotation to lift.
