Vintage St. Patrick's Day Greeting Card with Leprechaun & Child

Gazing smugly at the green sash across his chest, the portly gentleman in a top hat and formal black coat drapes his brown-gloved arm around a curly-haired girl in pink—apparently when you think 'Ireland,' a Wall Street tycoon cosplay is the natural first choice. The girl, resting her chin on her hand with wide blue eyes and a bow in her hair, stares up at him with an expression that hovers somewhere between 'admiration' and 'please wrap this up.' The caption—'The sweet little, green little shamrock of Ireland'—refers nominally to the shamrock on the sash, though the whole composition reads as a man very pleased with his own accessories while a child is contractually obligated to witness it.
