A child in a straw hat cradles a clutch of fluffy chicks while holding up a pink egg, the detail that gives this card its particular charm. Easter postcards like this one were popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when printers produced them in large numbers and sent them through the mail to wish friends and relatives a happy holiday. Spring motifs such as chicks and decorated eggs stood for new life and the season's return, and the printed card was often a small, affordable form of decoration in its own right. Looking closely, you can see how the color was added by hand or by layered printing, a reminder of how these cards were made.
