Chicks and a hen crowd the front of this Easter postcard, a small-scale greeting of the kind that circulated widely in the early 20th century, when illustrated cards were a common way to send seasonal wishes through the mail. Easter postcards of this era often drew on the rabbit, egg and chick imagery that had grown popular in Europe and North America, and the fluffy poultry here reflect the spring symbolism of new life. Cards like this were usually mass-produced by lithographic printers, so they show the bright, flat color and decorative borders typical of the period. Look closely at the lettering and the margins for clues about the printing process and the date of issue.
