Abstract:
This black and white postcard features a portrait of Divine. Divine was the stage name of actor and drag queen Harris Glenn Milstead. A Baltimore, Maryland native, he may be best known for starring in a number of films by Baltimore film-maker John Waters. In this postcard, Divine is wearing a double-breasted tweed coat over a white shirt with a polka-dotted bowtie. Against a black background, he is leaning back with his thumbs in the pockets of the coat and smiling broadly at the camera.
