About This Item
J. Baker. Very Good/No DJ. 1970. First Edition. Hard Cover. 8vo 0212983644 Illustrated cloth boards with bright titling in black. No ownership marks. 72 pages clean and tight. In this book, F. Gordon Roe, F.S.A., makes a novel approach to the study of Silhouettes - or Profiles to use a preferred term, for those fascinating Shades of the past, now in great demand by collectors. Women's part in the practice and documentation of Profiling is so considerable as to justify this book. The text, as is usual with Mr. Roe's work, manages to combine comfortably factual information and original research with entertaining anecdote. The Profiles themselves have been carefully selected from public and private collections and form an attractive gallery of feminine shadows from the 1700s, through the Victorian Age, to the present day and the use of silhouetted devices on the new Vic toria Line in London. .
