Up for bid is a wonderful vintage Easter postcard.  Featured is a colorful lithographic illustration of a young boy wearing period attire. He's driving a harnessed flock of chicks! When you supersize image 1 you can see the wonderful details. Notice that he's using a pussy willow branch as a whip. The artistry's terrific and the colors are still vivid.

I fairly certain that Ellen Clapsaddle, one of the most prolific and talented postcard artists at the turn of the last century, has provided the illustration as it resembles her style.

Printed in pre-WWI Germany, and published by the International Art Publishing Co. (one of Clapsaddle's favorite publishers--their logo is on the back), this beautifully embossed vintage postcard has been posted and has a 1911 cancellation across the one-cent stamp on the divided back.

Here is a wonderful 110 year-old antique card that is ready for framing.  It will make a thoughtful gift or can be added to your Clapsaddle or Easter postcard collection.  Some lucky collector gets to take this lovely card home.  Will it be you?!?

All items have been safely stored in a smoke-free home.
