Here's a more complete link to the site that leads directly to the silhouettes:
http://karenswhimsy.com/silhouette-clipart.shtm
In the left column there is a menu. If you choose silhouettes, additional menus appear for these categories: people, dancer, free, bird, animal, tree, art, clipart, cat, silhouettes, horse, girl, female and woman. These are all public domain images, which means no copyright.
