Gold-leafed eggs, snowdrops and violets crowd the front of this Easter greeting card, a combination that signals spring in a way many Easter cards of the period leaned on. Snowdrops often appear early in the season, pushing through late-winter snow, which made them a natural emblem of renewal and hope at Easter. Violets, likewise, were among the first flowers of spring and were widely used in Victorian and early twentieth-century sentimental cards. Cards like this were typically exchanged between family and friends as small tokens of goodwill, and the gilt detailing shows how makers used metallic accents to lift an otherwise modest printed design.
