Real photo postcard novelty photograph showing a comic illusion portrait of a man appearing to have two heads. The image is staged so that a second face appears above the first, creating a humorous double‑head visual effect common in novelty photographic studios during the early twentieth century. The subject wears patterned clothing and poses smiling toward the camera while the illusion head appears above his shoulders.
Such novelty photographs were often produced as amusement images using mirrors, double exposure techniques, or constructed props. These photographs were popular as postcard souvenirs and studio trick portraits during the postcard era.
The reverse reads: “PHOTO POST CARD” with Kodak stamp box for AZO photographic paper. Handwritten inscriptions read: Pencil catalog notation visible along the edge.
