A manual of cheirosophy, a palmistry handbook by Ed. Heron-Allen with illustrations by Rosamund Brunel Horsley, published in London by Ward, Lock in 1885 for general readers interested in reading character from hands. The pictures are plain line drawings of open palms with lettered lines, arcs and small crosses marking the major palm lines, set on a pale cream ground, and a designer might borrow their clean diagrammatic schema, the labelled hand outline, or the tidy linework for infographic-style annotation.
