Vintage St. Patrick's Day Greeting Card with Leprechaun and Pig
Text on Card
Good Fortune on St. Patrick's Day.
Description
Sporting a blue coat, red-brown vest, brown knickerbockers, and blue stockings topped with a dark hat featuring a light band, a whimsical young boy dominates this charming Edwardian-era St. Patrick's Day greeting card. He holds a giant four-leaf clover while a small pink pig runs across the clover leaves at his feet, rendered in vibrant chromolithography with a gold-tinted background. The scene showcases the playful blend of Irish symbolism typical of early 20th-century holiday cards, with the boy's posture suggesting he is guiding or gesturing toward the giant shamrock arrangement.
