The postcard here is signed by Ellen Clapsaddle (a famous postcard artist) and is a second birthday greeting for a member of the "Cradle Roll." Apparently Cradle Rolls usually were registries of babies born to church members, which explains the religious theme of this card. Writing on the back lists a baby's name, parents' names, and a 1927 date.
The greetings cards below are ones I received for my first birthday. The photograph is of me celebrating my first birthday.
Love vintage greeting cards. How nice you still have your vintage birthday cards. Cute baby picture!
