A translated guide to silhouette art
First published in 1898 and revised in 1909, Anna Corsep’s compact volume offers a historical account of silhouettes alongside discussion of their meaning and use. This edition brings the work into English for the first time, preserving its original illustrations and layout. Translator Charles Burns also adds notes from the perspective of a contemporary silhouettist, connecting Corsep’s text with present-day practice. The book’s combination of period writing, images, and supplementary commentary makes it a source for exploring both the history of silhouette art and how the form has been understood and used.
