    Description

    This great picture collage salutes Andrew Carnegie whose trust came to dominate the Steel Industry in the late 1800's.   The collage features picture of Andrew Carnegie as well as a replica copy of a poloitical cartoon from the era mocking his wealth.  Highlighting the collage is the first day cover of the stamp issued to honor Andrew Carnegie as a Titan of Industry.
    On the day a stamp is issued, it is only available in the city where it is issued and the Post Office certifies this by canceling the stamp “First Day of Issue.”
    Overall, a great collectible for any history Buff.
    The size of this matted picture is 11" x 14" and will fit any 11" x 14" inch frame.
    (a standard size).
    I make all these collages by hand.  As a history buff as well as a lover of old movies and 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 and lay out the design on the mat.  Finally, I cut each mat based on that design and assemble the collage.
