Silhouette portrait of Welsh politician David Lloyd George (1863-1945), made by Harry Lawrence Oakley at Llandudno. Oakley made tens of thousands of silhouettes between the 1920s and 1950s. He produced portraits, book and newspaper illustrations, and stationery. He perfected the technique of speedily cutting folded paper with scissors, with no prior drawing, and found a good market for portraits. During his time as a soldier in the First World War he designed posters for the army. After the war he continued to earn his living from silhouettes and made portraits of many famous people including royalty.
