Collections beginning with 'O'

Each year, between 1920 and 1958, holidaymakers walking along the pier at Llandudno on the coast of North Wales, could have stopped at a booth to have their silhouette portrait cut by Mr H. L. Oakley, otherwise known as the man with the magic scissors. He served as a Captain in the 8th Yorkshire Regiment during the First World War and after the war, he returned full-time to silhouette art dividing his time between portraiture, magazine and commercial work.
