Pink bells and forget-me-nots give this Easter greeting its soft, sentimental look, a palette that was common on holiday cards in the decades around 1900. Such cards were often printed in color lithography, a process that let makers layer several inks to achieve delicate floral tones. Easter cards of this era were popular gifts exchanged between family and friends, and the forget-me-not, with its small blue blossoms, carried a long association with remembrance and affection. Notice how the bells, a traditional Easter motif tied to the church's ringing on Easter morning, are paired with flowers meant to say "do not forget me.
