Chiromancy Cultural Foretelling Future Mystic Mysticism Palmistry Predicting Prediction Read
EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph print titled "A Mystic" takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in a world of mysticism and palmistry. The illustration was created by an English School artist and is part of a private collection. The image serves as an illustration for the book "Life Studies in Palmistry" written by Ina Oxenford and Anna Macdowell Cosgrave in 1899. It offers a glimpse into the cultural fascination with chiromancy, or palm reading, during that era. Intriguingly, this artwork transports us to a time when people sought predictions about their future through the study of hands. The mystic depicted here appears deep in concentration as they read the lines on someone's hand, attempting to foretell their destiny. As we admire this historic piece, it reminds us of how our ancestors explored various methods to understand themselves better and find meaning in life. This lithograph captures not only a moment from history but also represents an entire civilization's curiosity about the unknown. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable artwork from the past for contemporary audiences to appreciate its historical significance. Through this print, we are invited to delve into centuries-old practices while contemplating our own beliefs about fate and divination.
