E.C. Beam "Mt. Orab, Ohio" [The 14-Fingered Man]

Printed Photo Postcard. Monk-like man with very severe anomalies of the hand, making him look as if he is wearing very strange gloves with seven fingers on each hand. Very odd humorous poem on the verso: Written in pencil: "Remember one, remember me/Where far far off/Where the woodchucks die with the whooping cough. E.C. Beam."...............Also, below find handwritten message from a second copy of this same postcard: "This shows my hands each has 7 fingers counting thumb. Do my writing with the left. Yours E.C. Beam." Card published by "E.C. Kropp Co.
