About the author

Rosa Baughan was a Victorian English writer on palmistry and physiognomy, best known for The Handbook of Palmistry, first published in the nineteenth century and reissued in multiple modern editions, including by Plexus Publishing and Legare Street Press. The book offers a detailed guide to reading the hands, explaining the meanings traditionally assigned to the lines, shapes, and features of the palm as indicators of character and fortune. Writing at a time when palmistry and astrology enjoyed wide popular interest in Britain, Baughan presented the practice as a structured system for interpreting personality and destiny through physical signs on the body. Her handbook remains one of the more widely reprinted nineteenth-century English-language guides to palmistry, valued by later readers and practitioners for its accessible, systematic approach to a much older divinatory tradition.
