Vintage St. Patrick's Day Greeting Card Woman Green Hat

What strikes you immediately is just how much green this woman is wearing — an enormous feathered bonnet with ribbon bows, a green bow at her throat, and a fluffy white lace dress all set against a background so aggressively verdant it could give a shamrock an inferiority complex. The card is signed by Ellen H. Clapsaddle, a name that somehow perfectly suits the figure depicted here, whose auburn curls and rosy cheeks float in a golden oval like a portrait of someone who has never once been told 'that's too much green.' She didn't just wear the green, she consumed it, absorbed it, became one with it, and honestly? She looks smug about it.
