Easter cards of this kind, with a cherub perched in or beside a painted egg, were a popular sentimental genre in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when printed greeting cards became cheap and widely sold. The cherub, a winged infant borrowed from Renaissance and Victorian art, stood for innocence and new life, which made it a natural pairing with Easter's themes of resurrection and spring. Cards like this one were typically chromolithographed, with soft pastel colors and decorative borders, and were exchanged among family and friends as small tokens of goodwill. The word "peaceful" in the title points to the quiet, gentle tone that defined the sentimental style of the period.
