Vintage St. Patrick's Card

Enjoy Vintage St. Patrick's Day Postcards by Ellen Hattie Clapsaddle


Ellen H. Clapsaddle (1865-1934) created over one thousand picture postcards for sending on different, especially celebratory occasions. Many of them can be found online (they are Public Domain) and published by numerous shops, blogs, fan websites, and so on. Unfortunately, they are unsorted, often scanned in low quality, with damaged edges, uneven coloring, age-caused spots, ...

This is why I decided to collect a few dozen postcards by Clapsaddle and establish a dedicated website for this extremely popular and successful artist. This is an example of one of the cards:


To get this lovely image, I used next four free graphic tools:

  • Scrnly to save the image,
  • Inkscape to rotate it in a desired position,
  • FastStone Image Viever to crop it,
  • GIMP to correct the errors in the picture.

This is the address where a whole selection of Clapsaddle's Saint Patrick's Day postcards can be found:


As I already noted, all published images are Public Domain and you can use them for whatever you want. If you find them useful, tell your friends, share the address through your preferred social media, link it from your blog, pin it, etc.

Have a great day and celebrate wisely!
