Old-Fashioned Silhouettes: 942 Copyright-Free Illustrations (Dover Pictorial Archive)

Because silhouettes have a unique capacity to capture attention and communicate quickly and clearly, they are especially useful in advertising and communications. The silhouettes in this splendid collection, selected from an archive of late-19th- and early-20th-century graphic arts, offer designers and artists nearly 1,000 designs ideal for illustrating a vast array of subjects.
The human profile and figure, coiffed and dressed in many different ways; familiar animals, flowers and birds; coaches, planes, automobiles, ships, and much, much more are generously represented in this treasury of bold images. All are royalty-free, and all can be reproduced easily and put to work instantly to add a sparkling, old-fashioned touch to your next layout.
