Description
 
A 9 page album, with various original cut silhouette works, each signed W. S.  Subject matter ranges from true whimsy to one or two that are a bid forlorn or maudlin.  Includes playful penguins, either a Centaur or Goat frolicking on a river bank with pixies, pixies playing amongst hatching chicks, a man fishing, a man pontificating – accompanied by a poem beginning with “Where broad river sweep into wide sea…”, a woman playing piano, a woman standing at cliffs edge captioned “Blind grief that sees not”, a couple embracing framed by curtains and finally a winged Cupid with a vase of flowers.  The final is worked in lavender paper on black; the remainder of the book is black on white or gray.   Housed in an 8” x 11 ½” “Snapshot” album.  The little works are held in place with photo corners and could be easily removed.  Condition: excellent.  A fine representation of one persons artistic musings
