Notes A series of figures that inadvertently cast shadows (many of them the same as the ones described in 39122) which reveal something about their personality or character-type - the 'eidolographic principle' is described on p.224. Short stories or essays form character-sketches to accompany these figures. Ends with a poem about shadow play.
Topics shadow show, shadow play, silhouette, optical entertainment
