Silhouette of John Dalton
Summary
A black cut-out and pasted silhouette portrait of Manchester scientist John Dalton (1766–1844). Dalton is shown in profile, with his distinctive straight nose and small protruding chin facing left. He wears a low, curved-brimmed top hat and a frock coat, and he supports himself on a cane. Some low-toned detail on the black silhouette allows us to see that he has short white hair and spectacles.
