Hollow-cut Silhouettes



Hollow-cut silhouettes are created using the paper from which the original was cut. They have a special place in the tradition of English silhouette cutting, some connoisseurs prize them more highly than the silhouette itself, since they reveal clearly the way in which the silhouette was cut!

These Hollow-cuts have been highlighted in grey, and mounted to create an extra pair of silhouettes, very useful for giving to grandparents!
