When the Silhouette Was Popular by Walter J. Janes
A historical sketch traces the silhouette from its 1747 origin through its rise as a popular, economical portrait form. It notes Etienne de Silhouette’s influence in France, the shift from painted portraits to shadow pictures, and the silhouette’s later decline with photography. It concludes with the silhouette as a curiosity found at fairs and resorts today.
