Marianne Raschig was the leading palm-reader in Germany between the two World Wars. She collected a substantial archive of hand-prints, invariably signed by the subjects themselves, offering a fine conspectus of famous men and women in Berlin, mainly during the 1920s. Raschig seems to have had no interest in eugenics; hers was a highly organized and concentrated study in personality as revealed by hand-lines. Her classic book, Hand und Persönlichkeit. Einführung in das System der Handlehre (1931), contains 158 plates of photographic negatives, based on her hand-prints (all reduced), together with her analyses of the results. It has become a source of information for psalmists ever since.
