    Hello. I have a postcard which has been printed in Salvador Dali hometown. There is a hand paint over the postcard printed image, and also signed by Salvador Dali. I think it was used for some practice when he was young. Any ideas, observes? Size around: 14x10cm

    The word 'changeable' does not capture Dali signatures. Here are some typical one:

    The 'Salvador Dali' on the postcard looks like it was written by a child. I think it is a label, i.e., this is by SD, not a signature: I, SD, made this.

    Postcards are not usually one of a kind. There would be an original, & then a whole bunch of copies. You believe you have the original art work from a run of PCs?

    Seems to me too, that its written by a child, and painted over it. So that's why I think, it can be before he had these signatures.

    I just thinking, trying to figure it out. I only researched and had found where these postcard we're printer, and compared it to Salvador live time.

    Sorry, I don't see a connection. The postcard is from Monza, Italy. Dalí was born in Figueres, Catalonia, Spain.

    You might do better starting with the hypothesis that a signature on a painting is not genuine. Then work at trying to see if you can disprove that.

    Thanks, I will try to do that type of hypothesis first.
