Chicks and a red egg make up the whole scene on this Easter greetings card, a small-format piece of seasonal ephemera from the Occasions > Easter board. Greeting cards like this one became widely popular in the late 1800s and early 1900s, when printing advances made colorful, mass-produced cards affordable for ordinary households. Easter cards of that era often leaned on symbols of spring and new life, such as chicks, eggs and bright colors, to wish recipients a happy holiday. The red egg is worth a closer look, since it stands out against the softer tones around it and draws the eye to the card's central message.
