Lead with what sets this card apart: a violin-playing cherub, a figure that turns up less often than the bunnies, eggs, and lilies that fill most Easter cards of the period. Greeting cards of this kind became popular in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when color lithography made affordable, sentimental images widely available for holidays and family correspondence. Cherubs, borrowed from Renaissance and Victorian religious art, were a common way to suggest innocence, celebration, and the joy of the resurrection. The musical instrument adds a note of festivity, showing how makers used familiar religious iconography to give a holiday message a lighter, more cheerful tone.
