Description
This great picture collage salutes that great American Al Smith who as Governor of New York was the first Catholic to run for President in 1928 but lost to Herbert Hoover. The collage features the First Day Cover of the stamp issued to honor Al Smith issued in 1945 making this product over 65 years old. On the day a stamp is issued, it is only available in the city where it is issued & the Post Office certifies this by canceling the stamp "First Day of Issue." The Smith stamp was issued in New York, NY site of his hometown home. Overall, a great collectible for any political buff. The size of this matted picture is 8" x 10" & will fit any 8" x 10" inch frame. (a standard size). I make all these collages by hand. As a history buff as well as a lover of old movies & all types of sports, the key to each picture is the research behind it. Deciding what movies should go with a particular star or what game or series would best reflect a certain sports hero is crucial to a successful collage. I then design each picture individually & lay out the design on the mat. Finally, I cut each mat based on that design & assemble the collage. Shipping & Handling is free for the United States. .
