Famous memento mori by Charles Allan Gilbert (September 3, 1873 – April 20, 1929). Gilbert was an American illustrator born in Connecticut, USA. He drew "All is Vanity" while still a young student, but despite a successful career as an illustrator (his credits include work for Harper's, The Atlantic Monthly, illustrations for a novel by Edith Wharton and for another by H.G. Wells, among many others) he is still best known as the creator of this wonderfully haunting drawing.
Very nice posted condition on this rare postcard printed by Thorburn of Ottawa, Canada, probably no more than a couple of years after it was published by Life magazine in 1902.
