EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print titled "Five famous palms, what the lines of the hand denote" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into an era fascinated by palmistry and divination. The image showcases five hands belonging to prominent figures of that time: Queen Victoria, Kaiser Wilhelm, the Russian Czar, late President Faure, and William Ewart Gladstone. Each hand is meticulously engraved with intricate lines that are believed to hold secrets about one's future. This artwork was originally created as an illustration for The Penny Pictorial Magazine in 1899, capturing the curiosity surrounding palm reading during this period. The composition invites viewers to ponder over these influential individuals' destinies through their unique palm patterns. It not only reflects a fascination with fortune-telling but also serves as a historical record of notable personalities from Europe's past. As we examine each line and crease on these famous palms, we are reminded of how interconnected history can be. These hands have shaped nations and influenced countless lives within them. Through this litho print, we catch a glimpse into the beliefs and cultural practices prevalent during that time in France. Bridgeman Images has preserved this piece from its private collection for us to appreciate today—an exquisite blend of artistry and historical significance captured within these five iconic hands.
