Explore the symbolic landscape of the hand with this 1916 palmistry chart from Cheiro’s Palmistry for All. Presented as “Fig. VI.—Part II: The Mounts of the Hand,” the antique book plate divides the palm into areas associated with Mercury, the Sun, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, the Moon, and Venus, while the thumb is marked with the words “Love,” “Logic,” and “Will.”
Published during the early twentieth-century fascination with palm reading, astrology, and character interpretation, Cheiro’s illustrated guide presented palmistry as a system that ordinary readers could study at home. In the accompanying text, Cheiro connected the hand’s seven principal “mounts” with traditional planetary qualities—such as love for Venus, imagination for the Moon, ambition for Jupiter, and mentality or commerce for Mercury.
With its aged cream paper, simple black linework, and authentic page heading “Palmistry for All,” this historical diagram makes distinctive wall art for a library, study, reading room, tattoo studio, curiosity cabinet, or eclectic gallery wall. It is especially suited to palm readers, astrologers, bibliophiles, vintage book collectors, and admirers of antique instructional illustrations.
