Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Collection of American Silhouette Portraits Cut by August Edouart Edouart cut every silhouette in duplicate. One copy was purchased by the sitter while the other, carefully inscribed, was kept by the artist for reference and exhibition purposes. In other words Edouart was a good business man, methodical and painstaking, and he kept the dupli cate of every silhouette much in the same way as a photographer of to-day keeps the negatives of his portraits.
