A silhouette is the image of a person, an object or scene
represented as a solid shape of a single colour, usually black, its
edges matching the outline of the subject (Wikipedia).
In the days of long ago, before photography was invented, our great-grandfathers and great-grandmothers used to have portraits of themselves taken sideways. They were what were known as silhouette portraits, and they were not taken with a camera, but were cut out of thin black paper, and stuck upon a white card.
Where are silhouettes used?
