By Henry Bursill

64pp. paperbound.

Creating hand shadows on a wall is a pastime that has entertained young and old alike for generations. Now the art of hand shadows is made easy in this volume, a combination of two wonderful Victorian novelty books. By following clear visual instructions ( a full page illustration of each subject shows both the shadow and the hand position that forms it), shadow shapers will be able to make a bird take flight, a duck quack, Toby the dog wag his tail, and more. With a little patience and practice, anyone can learn mto make these 30 additional figures, including a deer, camel, bunny, bull's head, Shakespeare, grandpa, an elephant, Wellington, Mike, Mike's pig and more. From the 1860 original.
