Shade and Shadow: A Selection of British and American Silhouettes

This exhibition presents a small selection of 19th-century British and American silhouettes from Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum and four private collections. Before photography became widely available, silhouette portraits were quick, easy, and affordable. Elegant ladies, family scenes, charming children, and more reveal a compelling slice of life from the golden age of this art form. Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday from 12-4.
$5 for adults
$3 for seniors & students
