Hark the herald angels sing - Public domain drawing
Summary
Drawing shows silhouetted Salvation Army bellringer dressed as Santa Claus asking for donations as street vendors sell Christmas holiday items.
Cutting portraits, generally in profile, from black card became popular in the mid-18th century, though the term silhouette was seldom used until the early decades of the 19th century, and the tradition has continued under this name into the 21st century.
