An angel perched inside a blue egg is the unusual centerpiece of this Easter greeting card, a motif that sets it apart from the rabbits, chicks, and flowers that dominate the holiday's printed ephemera. Easter cards of this kind were popular in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when mass-produced chromolithographed greetings let families send seasonal wishes by post. Angels appeared often in these designs, recalling the angel at the empty tomb in the resurrection accounts, and the rich blue of the egg would have stood out on a card. The card is worth a closer look for how it blends sacred imagery with the sentimental style of its era.
