Silhouettes The History and use of silhouettes.

Silhouettes  What is a silhouette?  Definition: a line that traces the outer limits of an object or surface (cartoonists often try to give their characters recognizable silhouettes ).  The term silhouette is well understood now, though this was not always the case. Early designations included "shade," and "profile." Silhouettes were made freehand and with tracing devices, by amateurs and professional artists alike.

Silhouettes  What was a silhouette used for?  Usually for medals and antique coins, but the first silhouettes may have been the profiles made of King William and Queen Mary, produced about 1700.  The medium of early silhouettes was lamp black (soot) on plaster or glass.
