A winged angel perched on a large blue egg sets this card apart from the bunnies and chicks that crowd most Easter designs. Cards like this one were popular in the early 20th century, when printers used chromolithography and embossing to give holiday greetings a soft, glossy finish. The angel points to the religious side of the holiday, linking the spring celebration to the resurrection story, while the pastel palette and decorative border reflect the sentimental style that American and European publishers favored for seasonal cards. Such cards were often tucked into letters or given to family and friends, which is why many have survived in surprisingly good condition.
