Subject: Q about silhouettes
The Regency Town House, www.rth.org.uk, is developing a project about
British portrait silhouette history called, Profiles of the Past,
www.profilesofthepast.org.uk
On the Profiles website, we would like to include a listing of of
those UK organisations that hold silhouettes within their collections.
Whether you have silhouettes in store, on display or both, it would
help us considerably if you could answer the following questions:
1. Do you hold any silhouettes within your collections? Y / N
2. Are they on open access? Y / N
3. If not, can the public see them by appointment? Y / N
Many thanks in advance for taking part in this brief survey.
