Angels and shamrocks share this card, mixing a religious Easter symbol with a folk emblem of spring and Ireland. The angels recall the resurrection story, while the shamrock would have been familiar to many people who bought seasonal cards. Holiday postcards like this were popular in the late 1800s and early 1900s, when a card was an inexpensive way to send greetings across distances. Many were printed in bright colors with decorative borders, so they now show how holidays were marketed and celebrated.
