Two yellow chicks perch on a large red egg in this Easter greeting postcard, a design that sets it apart from the many rabbit-and-basket cards on the same board. Chicks and eggs had long stood for renewal and new life, so pairing them in a simple, bright composition made the card an easy way to wish someone a happy holiday. Early twentieth-century greeting cards like this were often mass-printed in color, and they were mailed between family and friends in the days before telephones were common in ordinary homes. Notice how the bold red egg frames the small birds, a choice that made the message readable at a glance.
