The image is a page from a manual titled "INDIAN SIGN TALK". It features three diagrams illustrating hand gestures and their corresponding meanings. **H. 18:** A drawing shows a clenched right fist being thrust under the left arm. The text describes the gesture as "Clutch the right fist as if grasping something and thrust it under the left arm." The equivalent meanings are: "HIDE, CONCEAL, SECRET, STEALING, STOLEN." If it's about theft, it's preceded by "CATCH". **H. 19:** This diagram shows two hands facing each other, palms touching, then being quickly drawn apart. The text states, "The hands palm to palm are drawn quickly apart a short distance." The equivalent meanings are: "HIDE, A SKIN, TO SKIN." The note says, "See skin." **H. 20:** The drawing depicts a hand with the thumb raised and being tossed towards a person (indicated by an 'X'). The text reads, "Elevate the thumb and toss the fist toward the person referred to." The equivalent meanings are: "HE, HIM, HER, THAT PERSON." The page number "88" is visible at the bottom. The style of the drawings is simple and illustrative, typical of instructional manuals. The text is in a clear, serif font.
