Dummy Boards
A Dummy Board is a cut-out image of a human figure, such as a pedlar, maid or footman, or animal such as a cat, in painted wood. They were possibly used as fire screens in late 17th century Britain, but by the mid-eighteenth century were purely ornamental. Reproductions were made in the mid-19thC and in the 1920s and 30s.
