An Easter greetings card showing a child climbing out of a large egg is a sweet example of how holiday cards once turned seasonal symbols into playful scenes. Egg imagery has long stood for new life and spring, and by the late 19th and early 20th centuries, printed Easter cards were popular in the United States and Europe, often mass-produced in color lithography. The image of a child hatching or emerging from an egg blends the Easter egg tradition with a sentimental taste for children as symbols of renewal. Look closely at the printing and colors to see how these cards were made for everyday sending.
