Here are but a few examples of the countless "traditional" silhouettes developed as far back as the Paleolithic cave drawings of the Stone Age. Pick just about any object and it has probably been rendered in silhouette form. I have a large collection, but local libraries and the Internet provide an almost limitless resource. I can cut many of these in steel as well as your own photograph showing clear profiles.
