This palm map is an image from an antique book from 1902 called "Popular Amusements for Indoors and out of doors." The section is called "The Language of the Hand and what it reveals". It says, "Palmistry is divided into two technical sciences, known as chirognomy and chiromancy. Chirognomy is the science of determining individual traits and hereditary tendencies by studying the shape and pose of the hand. Chiromancy is the science of determining the acquired characteristics of a person, foretelling events, etc, by the study of the lines and markings to be found in the palm of the hand."

The map of the hand is the real deal -- from the Mount of Venus to will, logic, love, sympathy, to resistance, courage, and the plain of mars with is apparently temper.
