Description
Mail art postcard by Takayo fashioned out of red construction paper and newsprint. The front is covered with a color newsprint photographic image of the top half of a bald man's face with eyes looking upward and the words “MAIL HEART” written across the forehead. Radiating lines in black marker are drawn around the head and a red border surrounds the whole enclosing a stamped return address in the upper right hand corner. The red postcard back contains addressee information and is covered with stickers, U.S. postage stamps and postmarks. It also includes a hand-written address to Belgium, a note “Theme YOUTH & MAIL-ART”, and a centrally-placed heart LOVE stamp. Mail art recipient: Luce Fierens.
