1915 Plum Pudding Time by Clapsaddle

Step into a heartwarming Christmas scene from the early 1900s with this charming vintage greeting card, lovingly illustrated by Ellen Clapsaddle. Titled "Plum Pudding Time," it features two adorable children preparing for a holiday feast, their bright eyes and rosy cheeks radiating the joy of the season. One little one sits proudly in a wooden highchair, spoon in hand, ready for Christmas treats, while the other stands close behind, dressed neatly in a red dress with a crisp white apron, holding their own plate and spoon in sweet anticipation.

Above the illustration, a sprig of mistletoe with bright red berries adds a festive touch to the greeting, “CHRISTMAS GREETING.” Beneath it, the simple but cheerful message reads:

“This little card has come to say: Merry be your Christmas Day,” and "Plum Pudding Time."

Clapsaddle’s delicate style and eye for childhood innocence shine through in every detail—from the fine features of the children to the lovingly rendered holiday table scene. The absence of gilding and elaborate printing speaks to the resourceful creativity of the WW1 era when there were ink shortages.

This embossed vintage postcard would look great framed, make a wonderful hostess gift or stocking stuffer, a unique holiday decoration, or make an excellent addition to any collection.
