Hitchcockian

I remember visiting my cousins as a child and being so jealous that their silhouettes were framed on the walls. How cool! I didn't have any idea how somebody could do that--they were so detailed and real. Now that I've seen the marvelous entries in Emma Rutherford's oversized book, I know they were not quite as intricate as they could have been. No profile will ever be as recognizable as Alfred's or Teddy Roosevelt's but the artistry lives on.
