BLANK INSIDE
Amidst the hustle of the romantic Victorian age, our cupid proprietor is in full swing during the bustling season of love! A stylish girl adorned in a handsome green outfit with a matching muff and hat peruses the heart market, expressing her desire for a heart that is honest and free. This charming scene, brought to life by Ellen H. Clapsaddle, epitomizes the spirit of the Golden Age of Postcards!
Ellen Clapsaddle (1865-1934) was an American artist who was celebrated for her immense impact on vintage postcard illustration. With a staggering portfolio of over 3,000 designs in the souvenir postcard field, she played a pivotal role in the Golden Age of Postcards (1890s through World War I), during which hundreds of millions of postcards were printed, imported, sold, and mailed. Clapsaddle's artistry is beautifully preserved in these cherished nostalgic pieces, often featuring children, floral arrangements, and holiday themes. Her profound influence extended to postage stamps through the United States Postal Service, solidifying her status as a true pioneer in postcard illustration.
This product was custom designed and created at our location in Seattle.
