It looks to me more like the glue is simply the normal kind of glue residue that would be on the back after it was removed from a scrapbook like so many other trade cards often have. I disagree that the Glass Blowers ad was glued on after the fact or is even a separate piece. Then again, it's pretty hard to tell from those pics. Maybe Barry's right. Does the book have glossy covers like the paper of this piece? You can see from the flash reflection that the paper has some gloss to it which doesn't seem to appear on the book. Also, the colors for both all match except for the green background this piece has vs. the brown background on the book. Oh, and can someone point out Anson and Kelly for me?
Interesting piece, whatever it is.
