L’Adultère Dévoilé – Georges Muchery – Rare Édition Astrale Illustrée (c.1930)

A fascinating and extremely rare occult book from the early 20th century: L’Adultère dévoilé à tous par les mains by Georges Muchery, published by Éditions Astrale Illustrée (circa 1930).
A remarkable work of chiromancy, this book claims to reveal signs of adultery, compatibility, and marital happiness through the study of the hands.

This edition contains 10 photographic plates of the hands of adulterous men and women, as well as 50 engraved illustrations, offering a complete visual guide to Muchery’s palm-reading system.
Both instructive and provocative for its time, this book was intended to help restore harmony in households by teaching readers how to interpret emotional tendencies through palmistry.

The volume covers all major elements of the hand: mounts, fingers, main lines, union lines, types planétaires (Marsien, Jupiterien, etc.), and concludes with guidance on which temperaments should unite to live happily.

🪶 Collector’s Note

Early works by Georges Muchery are increasingly difficult to obtain, especially complete with all plates. This volume is prized both for its historical value in French occult literature and for its unusual theme combining chiromancy with moral and social commentary. A rare opportunity for collectors of divination, palmistry, and pre-war esoteric publications.
