Comment by Predrag Petrovic on April 30, 2023 at 11:02am: Changing the original work (to various extent), is one of the common ''modus operandi'' in the world of Postal Art. It is the best to observe particular case, to be sure what one wanted to explain. Copyright problem may arise in some cases, but only if the original owner of the work is complaining. For instance, if somebody was using photo (cut out from the newspapers or magazines) etc etc. But it rarely happens, and of course, well known artists will never use someone else's work, that would be direct breach of copyright/s. There's thousands of cases and stories about it.

Comment by Susan Gnaedinger on April 25, 2023 at 1:00am: You know how you look at something and then you look at it again? Two small envelopes, 2 x 2 and a half inches, inside a larger envelope. The photo doesn't do them justice. The piece in the lower left hand corner is a three panel booklet.
