An angel and a lamb share the frame on this Easter Greeting postcard, a pairing that signals the holiday's message of resurrection and renewal without any text needed to read it. Holiday postcards like this one were produced in large numbers in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when illustrated cards became a popular way to send seasonal wishes through the mail. Printers often used the lamb as a symbol of Christ, drawing on long-standing Christian imagery, while the angel suggested the messages delivered at the empty tomb. Cards of this kind were usually chromolithographed, so their bright colors and soft, decorative borders are worth a closer look.
