Pussy willows and a child make up the core of this Easter greeting card, a pairing that was common in American holiday cards of the early twentieth century. Pussy willow catkins, which bloom early in spring, became a popular stand-in for the season's return, and printers often paired them with children to suggest innocence and renewal. Cards like this were mass-produced and mailed between family and friends, so they tell us as much about everyday sentiment as about art. Look closely at the soft, muted colors and the simple sentimental poses that typified the genre.
