Antique Butterfly Postcard

Look what I found!

I came across this precious Ellen Clapsaddle postcard in our local antique mall. Oh my goodness, my heart skipped a beat when I saw the tiny butterflies being painted.

Being well over 100 years old, the copyright on this image has expired, so you can already guess that I want to get some prints of this image put on cards for my Butterfly Cards for Cockayne Syndrome idea.

I wonder if Mrs. Laidlaw of Providence, Rhode Island was as excited to receive this card as I was to find it?
