Silhouette
By Anna Corsep, published in German in 1908
Translated and edited by Charles Burns in 2025
Silhouette artist, Anna Corsep published her slim, quirky volume about Silhouettes in 1908. The book has never been published in English until today. This new edition has been carefully translated and laid out in a manner to faithfully copy the original, together with extra notes by modern-day silhouettist Charles Burns.

On the plane to Ft Worth, finally reading your book. Love it. You did a masterful job allowing the artist her words, but hearing your voice in the notes too.

Thank you Lauren!
