Ellen H. Clapsaddle (1865–1934) was a prominent American illustrator and commercial artist, renowned for her extensive work in the creation of postcards during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in South Columbia, New York, Clapsaddle demonstrated an early aptitude for art, which she honed through formal education at the Cooper Union in New York City. Her career began in earnest when she started illustrating for various publications and producing artwork for advertising purposes.

Clapsaddle's most significant contribution to the world of commercial art came through her prolific production of postcards, a popular medium of communication and artistic expression during her time. She is credited with creating over 3,000 designs, many of which were produced by the International Art Publishing Company and other notable firms. Her postcards often featured charming and whimsical depictions of children, holiday themes, and sentimental scenes, characterized by their delicate lines, vibrant colors, and intricate details.

Her work gained widespread popularity, particularly in the United States and Europe, where her postcards became highly sought after by collectors and the general public alike. Clapsaddle's ability to capture the innocence and joy of childhood, as well as the festive spirit of holidays such as Christmas, Halloween, and Easter, endeared her to many and cemented her legacy as one of the most beloved postcard artists of her era.

Despite her commercial success, Clapsaddle's life was not without hardship. The economic downturn following World War I and the subsequent decline in the popularity of postcards led to financial difficulties for the artist. She spent her later years in relative obscurity and passed away in 1934 in a state of poverty. Nonetheless, Ellen H. Clapsaddle's artistic legacy endures, with her postcards continuing to be cherished by collectors and admired for their timeless charm and artistic merit.
