Handshadows

Way back when
Like about 50 bt (Before Television)
people had to find other stuff to entertain themselves.

Hobbies were  popular.

People farmed.


They exercised

And they made shadow figures by using their hands
to form animal figures with the shadow cast by a lamp
or candle light.


No seriously. They really did.


Here - I'll show you some old antique  
"How to make them" diagrams.













shadow creatures was a quite popular passtime

You should try your hand at making some one night
when all you can find on the tube is 
87 hours of Mr. Ed reruns.


I guess you could go out and get some exercise
