Silhouette cutter at the fair, 1937
A board hung with black paper silhouettes, dancers, a man in tails and rows of profile portraits, advertises a cutter's work, with a card promising a profile in a minute; the waffle seller in his white cap turns to look at it, and in close view the hands of an old man in a hat work a small pair of scissors round a piece of black paper. The cut silhouette, an art of the eighteenth century, had been revived in the 1920s by Lotte Reiniger's animated silhouette films.
