2002.04.05Description
A Shadow Picture trading card to cut out a shadow portrait of the late Mrs. Harrison with cherry blossoms on the front from the Woolson Spice Company in Toledo, Ohio. The back top has a cutting line to make the easel bac and it is pasted to the center of the card at the X. "With a pair of scissors cut out this head, following the line carefully. By holding the cut out figure between a lamp or gas jet and wall, a shadow picture of Mrs. Harrison will be seen. A little practice will secure good results and a life-like profile. It will also be discovered that the cutting out has not in any way destroyed the flowers on the other side, but has preserved them into a unique way, and by use of the easel attachment an attractive result is secured. Twenty different shadow pictures in this set."Collection
