This interesting card has no real history for me. Found at an estate sale a few years ago, I was taken by the image and the fact that it was handmade. It's a one of a kind, even if the maker sat and made dozens of these. Each one will be unique. The background is painted on the card. The pieces that comprise the image of the fellow, with his clothes made from stamps, are glued onto the card. I have no idea of the age, though "1921" is written on the back.
Update: Christine, from The Daily Postcard, has informed me that a card such as this would be called a "macerated stamp postcard". Thanks Christine! Once I figure out how to pronounce this I'm going to slip it into a conversation.
