Girl and Her Chicks, Sweet Old Postage Stamp Collage Postcard portraitas more near the bottomSuch a curious thing were old postage stamp collage postcards like this one, and I think this is quite a sweet example, with an excellent use of George Washington's head facing in opposite directions for our girl's purple dress, and perfectly placed "10"s for the heads of those yellow chicks! With watercolor ground and ink drawn details, and a message on reverse noting that it was "an elderly woman over 80 years of age" who made the card. 5 1 2 x 3 9
