Vintage Thanksgiving Greeting Postcard Child Pumpkin Wagon Ellen H. Clapsaddle

This vintage Thanksgiving postcard features a charming lithograph of a young child in a blue smock, red shorts, and a brown hat pulling a wooden wagon carrying a large orange pumpkin surrounded by autumn twigs. The cheerful greeting in colorful lettering reads "Thanksgiving Greeting" accompanied by a nostalgic verse: "A Pumpkin I bring you for Thanksgiving Day, With wishes that plenty may e'er with you stay." The artwork is signed by Ellen H. Clapsaddle, a well-known illustrator famous for her early 20th-century postcards and seasonal imagery. Printed by International Art Publishing Company of New York and Philadelphia, this original postcard measures the standard 5.5 x 3.5 inches and is a fine example of early 1900s lithograph printing, capturing the warm spirit of Thanksgiving. The back is divided for message and address and bears a handwritten note, adding to its collectible appeal. A wonderful piece for collectors of vintage holiday postcards, Americana, or illustrations by Ellen Clapsaddle.
