"The simplest and most classic kind of silhouette cameo is the bust-length portrait. Originally known as 'shades', these were popular all over England and the New World during the Georgian and Regency periods. The vast majority of party silhouettes cut today are of this kind... It's hard to beat the simple beauty of an elegantly cut profile set into an oval or rectangle mount. In the hands of an expert, such a classic portrait can be cut in as little as 60 seconds."
