The image presented is a black-and-white illustration or cartoon titled "LA CHIROMANCIE, NOUVEAU PASSE-TEMPS DES BONS PARISIENS" which translates to "Palmistry, New Pastime of Good Parisians." It appears to be a satirical piece by the artist Honoré Daumier, characterized by his signature, "hD," in the lower left.

In the image, there are two elderly women sitting up in bed. One of them, who is wearing spectacles and a nightcap with a pointed end, is holding a book and gesturing animatedly with her left hand. The other woman, who appears to be anxiously looking at her own hands, has a more worried expression on her face and seems to be seeking advice or reading from the book.

Beneath the illustration, there is a dialogue text in French:
"Adélaïde….. j’ai beau chercher…. je ne me trouve pas la petite ligne qui annonce une longue vie…… mon Dieu!…… dois-je donc mourir à la fleur de l'âge!"

The text translates to:
"Adelaide... I've been looking, but I can't find the little line that foretells a long life... my God!... must I then die in the bloom of youth!"

The scene humorously captures the essence of palmistry being a popular pastime and pokes fun at the anxiety and credulity it can inspire, particularly in the context of 19th century Parisian society. The detailed lines and shading work well to create an atmospheric and somewhat dramatic representation of the characters and their interaction.

This image is a black and white illustration of two people sitting up in bed, appearing to be engaged in some sort of dramatic or excited conversation or activity. The person on the left seems to be an older individual, gesturing with their hands raised, palms facing upwards, looking surprised or concerned. The person on the right is wearing what looks like a nightcap, also with hands raised, one hand with fingers spread wide, and appears to be speaking with a dramatic expression, mouth wide open as if exclaiming something.

Above them, the word "ACTUALITÉS" is printed, suggesting the illustration may relate to current events or social commentary of the time it was created. Below the illustration is printed text in French, which indicates the theme is chiromancy, implying that the individuals could be engaged in palm reading or discussing it.

The text below the image reads "LA CHIROMANCIE, NOUVEAU PASSE-TEMPS DES BONS PARISIENS" followed by dialog. This translates to "Chiromancy, the new pastime of good Parisians." The dialog seems to express concern about not finding a certain line on the palm that hints at a long life, followed by an exclamation about God and possibly the threat of dying young. This context suggests a humorous or satirical take on the subject of palmistry, a common form of entertainment or superstition in various historical periods.

This is a historical French lithograph titled "LA CHIROMANCIE, NOUVEAU PASSE-TEMPS DES BONS PARISIENS" (Palm Reading, New Pastime of Good Parisians). The artwork shows two people in bed, apparently in a state of distress or drama. They are wearing nightclothes and caps, with their hands raised in an animated gesture. The scene appears to be lit by a candle or lamp visible on what seems to be a bedside table. The artwork style is characteristic of 19th-century French satirical illustrations, with strong contrast between light and dark areas. There's text at the bottom in French that translates to: "Adelaide... I search in vain... I cannot find the little line that announces a long life... my God!... must I die in the prime of life!"

The image appears to be satirizing the popular practice of palm reading and fortune-telling in Paris during this period, showing the dramatic reaction to a supposedly dire palm reading prediction.

The image is an old black and white lithograph or etching depicting three men sitting up in bed, gesturing animatedly. They appear to be having an intense discussion or argument. The man on the left is pointing while the one in the middle raises both hands. The room has curtains drawn around the bed. Below the image is a caption in French that seems to provide context about what is happening in the scene, though I cannot translate it fully. The artist signature indicates it was made by someone named "Lith Jacquenin" in Paris, and it is numbered 142 in the top right, likely from a series of illustrations.

This is a historical lithograph or illustration titled "LA CHIROMANIE" (Chiromancy/Palm reading), labeled as a "nouveau passe-temps des bons Parisiens" (new pastime of good Parisians). The artwork shows several figures in dramatic poses with their hands raised, appearing to be participating in or reacting to a palm reading session. The image has a theatrical, almost comical quality typical of 19th century French satirical art.

At the bottom of the image, there's French text that reads: "Adélaïde... j'ai beau chercher... je ne me trouve pas une ligne qui m'annonce une longue vie... mon Dieu!... dois-je donc mourir à la fleur de l'âge!..." (Adelaide... I search in vain... I cannot find a line that promises me a long life... my God!... must I die in the flower of my youth!...)

The illustration appears to be satirizing the contemporary fascination with fortune-telling and palm reading in Parisian society. The dramatic poses and exaggerated reactions of the figures suggest this is meant to be a humorous commentary on this popular practice.

The image is credited to "maison Martinet" and appears to be a lithograph from Paris.

The image is a political cartoon titled "La Chiromancie, Nouveau Passe-Temps des Bonnes Parisiens" by Honoré Daumier. It depicts two women, one of whom is a chiromancer (fortune teller), sitting in a dimly lit room. The chiromancer is holding a candle and gazing at the palm of the other woman, who appears to be in a trance-like state. The background of the image is dark, with only faint outlines of furniture visible.

The cartoon is set in Paris, as indicated by the title, and is likely intended to comment on the popular pastime of fortune telling among the working class women of the city. The use of a dimly lit room and the focus on the chiromancer's hands suggests that the cartoon is meant to evoke a sense of mystery and intrigue.

Overall, the image is a humorous and satirical take on the practice of fortune telling, and the way it was perceived by the public at the time. It is a classic example of Daumier's work, which often used satire and caricature to comment on social issues and politics.

The text reads as follows: "Adélaïde.....j'ai beau chercher..... je nje me trouve pas la petite ligne qui annonce une longue vie.....mon Dieu!... doisje donc mourir à la fleur de l'âge !....." ("Adelaide..... I'm looking for a little line that announces a long life..... my God! am I going to die in the bloom of youth!.....")

The image depicts two elderly people, presumably a married couple, sitting up in bed. The bed has a draped canopy, and a nightstand with a candle in a chalice-like holder stands next to the bed. The woman to the left has a bonnet on her head and her hands are raised in apparent shock or fear. The man to the right is wearing a long, pointed hat. He is also raising his hands in shock. He is holding a book, presumably a palmistry guide, in one hand. Their expressions are exaggerated to convey surprise or alarm. The caption is below the image.
