Mirror-Image Silhouettes (Dover Clip-Art Series)

32 pp. Each page is divided into two identical, but reversed halves, allowing artists to choose from pairs of identical mirror-images to create frames, assemble borders and devise balanced layouts without having to flop the images photographically. Selected from such popular 19th- and 20th-century sources as Harpers Monthly, Punch, Life and Puck, 493 pairs of eye-catching silhouettes depict a variety of subjects: playful children, dancers, archers, romantic couples, figures on horseback, chimney sweeps and other human forms (in both busts and full figures), as well as familiar animals and plants.
