The background is just a texture picture. It looks like this.

Over that the 2 guys are from an antique daguerreotype photo, there is also transparent type in the background. I usually start with a background like that texture then I add images on top of that with various levels of transparency. I also add a little bit of hand "painting" on top of it all. I work with a lot of different layers, then when I am done I usually merge them all and then adjust the brightness, color, and contrast. Then I will go back and add more layers if it needs more work.
