Pink roses and lily of the valley share this card's front, a pairing that was popular on greeting cards of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Easter cards of that era were often printed with chromolithography or embossed paper and sent to family and friends as a seasonal greeting, much like holiday cards today. Lily of the valley, a flower associated with spring and the return of life, paired naturally with the Easter theme, while roses added a note of affection and sentiment. Look closely at the layered color and delicate detail, which show the care that went into small pieces of printed ephemera like this one.
