Sadie Stutsman Wampler in 1916.  This is the same year that she began entries in "The Hand O Graphs" book. This book comes with the instructions: Place you hand, palm downwards, on the paper and trace outline.  There are a couple examples given, and then the individual is on her own to gather outlines of the hands of friends, family and celebrities on the following pages.  It is like an autograph book for hands.  The name of the individual is also recorded along with the date.
