From ‘shadows’ by James Lind. Lind, in a letter from Edinburgh to Banks, dated 2 March 1775 (now in the collection of Mr Kenneth A. Webster), writes, ‘I have lately finished for Miss Burnet, in a neat Oval frame a couple of Shadows done in crayons, the one of you, and the other of Doctor Solander, of the same size as the outlines on the other
page xviii
side [of his paper], which look tolerably well…. If Miss Bank[s] will accept of a couple of Shadows done in the same [manner] as these I did for Miss Burnet I will do myself the honour of sending them’. The reproduction is from the letter. For some of Lind's activities with silhouettes see an article by F. Gordon Roe, ‘A Forgotten Group of Profilists’, in Apollo, XXII (1935), pp. 287–9. |
