Lion's Paws: The Story of Famous Hands 1937

Lion's Paws: The Story of Famous Hands is a book written by Nellie Simmons Meier, first published in 1937. The book is a collection of stories and anecdotes about famous people and their hands. Meier explores the idea that hands are a reflection of a person's character and personality, and she uses this concept to examine the hands of historical figures such as Abraham Lincoln, Napoleon Bonaparte, and Queen Victoria, as well as contemporary figures like Amelia Earhart and Babe Ruth. Meier also includes chapters on the hands of artists, musicians, and writers, and she discusses the role that hands play in these creative endeavors. Throughout the book, Meier weaves together history, biography, and cultural commentary to create a unique and engaging portrait of the human hand. Lion's Paws is a fascinating and insightful read for anyone interested in the intersection of physicality and personality.Introduction By Meredith Nicholson.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
