A hen with a basket of painted eggs on her back is the detail that sets this postcard apart from the many Easter cards of its era. Holiday postcards like this one were produced in large numbers from the late 1800s into the early 1900s, when a cheap stamp and a short written message made them a popular way to send seasonal wishes. Easter cards often leaned on symbols of spring and rebirth, such as chicks, rabbits, and decorated eggs, which were already familiar to the people who mailed and received them. Look closely at the painted eggs and the bright colors, which show how illustrators of the period used decoration to make even a simple greeting feel festive.
