(The print is on the whole darker than my pencil indication on the preceding page, and of much better quality. The lines in the palm, indicated by black lines, are in actuality in white on the original print, so that the effect is the interesting one of a hand in reverse, or perhaps a map or plan printed in reverse. The fingerprints show with fair clarity also. This is but one of many prints I made that evening; I discovered it is not easy to obtain a full print that has good overall detail.

(Jane of course saw this particular print, along with perhaps twenty others I made at the same time. There is nothing about this one to distinguish it from many of the others. Following the instructions in the book, I traced the outline of my hand in pencil while pressing the inked surface against the white paper. The print was sealed in the usual double envelope between the usual two pieces of Bristol.

A violet. Red, and a grading to yellow. Plus white, and very dark.

(“A floor plan, or diagram.” Note here how Jane narrowed the meaning down to a diagram. The original print used as the object, with the white lines apparent, is a diagram. See the detailed description on page 328.

(“Plus white, and very dark.” I made the handprint on white paper identical with this page, and the print itself is very dark.
