A child perched on an oversized egg makes this Easter greeting postcard stand out from the many holiday cards on the Occasions board, which tend to show bunnies, chicks, and flowers. Postcards of this kind were a popular way to send seasonal wishes in the early twentieth century, when printers used color lithography to produce them in large runs at low cost. The exaggerated egg, a whimsical device, reflected the spring symbolism of new life and renewal that was common across these cards. Notice how the oversized scale turns an ordinary childhood moment into a playful fantasy.
