Mr. November Gluebook Page

A 1929 children's book that I bought at a flea market has a wonderful art deco illustration as its endpaper and I've been itching to use it in a collage.  For this piece I used a copy, but the color is very true to the original.

The 1903 calendar page is original as is the letter N, which was cut from a 1930s card game called Crossword Lexicon.  I found Mr. November's photo at a local antique shop and was immediately taken by his lush mustache.

Thanks for visiting my blog!
