A woman stepping out of an oversized egg wreathed in flowers is an unusual centerpiece for an Easter card, and it shows how the holiday's imagery drifted from the religious to the whimsical in the early twentieth century. Easter postcards of this period were mass-produced in large numbers, often by European and American lithographers, and they were sent between friends and relatives as cheap, colorful greetings. The egg was a long-standing symbol of spring and renewal, and pairing it with a woman and blossoms linked the holiday to ideas of rebirth, fresh beginnings and the season's return. Such cards are worth studying today as a record of how people marked the holiday and what they thought was charming enough to share.
