Ellen Hattie Clapsaddle (January 8, 1865 - January 7, 1934) was an American illustrator/commercial artist in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. She is recognized as the most prolific souvenir postcard and greeting card artist of her era.  Born in New York State, she went on to establish the Wolf Company, a subsidiary of the International Art Publishing company of New York City.  Backed by two German brothers, (the Wolf brothers), her illustrations were used in advertising, on porcelain goods, calendars, paper fans, trade and greeting cards.  She was the first and only female souvenir/postcard artist of the era to establish her own enterprise. Her work is much loved and collected all over the world.
