A Sailor’s Hand: Famous Hands No. 1
A pale open hand is photographed upright against a dark rectangular field. The thumb spreads away from the palm, while the fingers remain close together. The caption identifies Famous Hands, No. 1, Sailor. Reproduced in The Graven Palm, the image begins a comparative series whose subjects are identified by occupation rather than by personal name.
