Buchbeschreibung

THÉO, R.

Les Silhouettes a la Main. Avec 37 Figures de Pose et 21 Patrons d'accessoires.

Paris Collection A.L. Guyot (c. 1895) 16mo. (50) ff. A charming little book of instruction on casting hand shadows, containing thirty-four illustrations and a large fold-out diagram. Accompanied by twenty-two (not twenty-one as stated in the title) cardboard cut-out figures, such as a hat, a ghost, a latch, and even a skeleton key, with which to enhance the figures made with one's hands. Two "scenarios" are outlined toward the end of the book: "A Visit to the Dentist" and "The Soldier." These are complex plots involving a number of characters, all to be created with one pair of hands and several cut-outs. Bound in pink wrappers, with a label to the front cover bearing an illustration of a man casting a hand-shadow rabbit as well as the title and author name in "shadowed" lettering. Pages uncut. Remnants of a removed bookplate to interior margin of front endpaper, small crease to bottom corner of last four leaves and rear wrapper, minor soiling to front cover. A very good, complete copy of a fragile item of juvenile ephemera.
