New Releases by Henry Bursill

This book is a collection of illustrations depicting possible shapes that a person could make using their hands and the shadow left behind from low light conditions; also known today as shadowgraphy. It was written by Henry Bursill, who authored several books, including this one, on the subject.

A collection of novel and amusing shadows formed by the hand which may be projected against a wall or screen. Each item in the collection is also enlarged and reproduced in an outline form which allows them to be colored or painted.

Detailed illustrations depict the formation of 28 images using only hands and fingers. Entertain friends and family with shadow pictures of a bird, bunny, elephant, and other figures.

Sketches demonstrate the hand positions for producing shadow images of various animals, birds, and human profiles
