Palmistry Chart, ca. 1967. Relief print, likely number 52 from an edition of 300, signed and titled in pencil on the lower blank margin.

In 1967, Betye Saar created Hand Book, in which hand symbols interpreted through her drawings and etchings are combined with the poetry of Beverly Gleaves and David Ossman, with Xerox work by Gail Gehring.
