Lead with the card's particulars: a child, a cross and a bunch of violets, set against the Easter season. Easter greeting cards like this one were popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when printers produced sentimental designs that families mailed or tucked into prayer books. Violets, one of the first spring flowers, stood for humility and new beginnings, while the cross marked the resurrection story at the heart of the holiday. Cards of this kind often blended religious devotion with the growing commercial culture of greeting cards, so the small scene carries both faith and the fashions of its day.
