Hand-tinted by an unknown artist, this Easter card shows a girl holding an egg, a motif that was popular on holiday postcards in the early 1900s. Postcards like this were mass-produced by printers and then colored by hand, often by women working in workshops, which gave each copy slightly different tones. Cards of this kind were sent to friends and family to mark the holiday, so the small handwritten messages and stamps on the back of such cards often reveal as much about daily life as the picture itself. The soft pastel palette and the child's pose reflect the sentimental style favored for seasonal greetings of the period.
