ART DETAIL
This is a fascinating vintage advertising poster from 1887 for Robert Hamilton Tobacco, featuring a detailed illustration of a hand for palmistry, or hand reading. The poster uses the image of an open hand to promote the product, suggesting that by purchasing their tobacco, one can also learn about palmistry and “see and know yourself as others see and know you.” The poster includes various palmistry terms like “Mount of Jupiter,” “Line of Heart,” and different finger tip types. This unique piece of advertising history offers a glimpse into the popular interests of the late 19th century and would be of interest to collectors of vintage advertising, tobacco memorabilia, those interested in palmistry and fortune-telling, and anyone fascinated by social history.
