Classic 1911 Book on Antique Silhouettes & Silhouette Cutters

“The History of Silhouettes”

By E. Nevill Jackson.
Published in London by The Connoisseur in 1911.

Emily Jackson just about single-handedly wrote the entire literature on 
silhouettes and their artists in the first part of this century with her 
two massive general works on the subject and her companion volume on 
Auguste Edouart, as well as a number of catalogs. This, her first book, 
is well illustrated and includes some lovely tipped-in color plates.

Hardcover. 8.5"x11", 121 + 4 pages, plus 1 color, 7 tipped-in color and 
73 black & white plates. Publisher's handsome pictorial covers. Covers 
with light wear and minor soil, front hinge cracked but tight, scattered 
light internal soil and spotting, short closed tear to page 113/4, one 
plate detached but present. $125
