Easter postcards like this one, showing a girl emerging from a giant egg beside pussy willow branches, belong to a popular genre of illustrated greetings that flourished in the early twentieth century. Postcards of this kind were mailed in large numbers, and the egg-and-child motif reflected the holiday's associations with new life and spring. Pussy willows, which bloom early in the season and were often taken as a sign of the coming warmth, add a rural note to the scene. Look closely at the colors and lettering, which often reveal the printing methods of the period.
