Cherubs flutter around a large painted egg in this Easter greetings postcard, a motif that was common in the early twentieth century, when holiday cards were mass-produced in lithographed sheets and sent by the thousands each spring. Postcards like this one were cheap, colorful, and quick to write on, which made them a popular way to wish friends and relatives well at Easter. The combination of chubby angels with the decorated egg, a symbol of new life tied to the holiday, reflects the sentimental style favored by card publishers of the period. Notice the bright, flat color and ornamental borders typical of that era's printing.
