I received this tucked inside of one of my Great Aunt's comic books. She left her collection to me and this has no notes or anything on it. I collect MAD among other things and I can't trace this one at all. It is directly on matboard. I searched in my local library's books an nothing. Any help?

Thanks
Rose

Rose and MsDowAntiques do you know anything about my Alfred E Neuman photo? According to Heritage Auctions it is the earliest known example of him.
Thanks for filling in some gaps for me here in Oz!
