Lead with what sets this card apart: a girl holding up a painted egg, with the French greeting "Joyeuses Pâques" printed across it. Hand coloring on a postcard like this was a common finishing touch in the early twentieth century, when illustrated postcards were a cheap and popular way to send holiday wishes. Easter cards of this kind were often exchanged between family and friends, and the bright, sentimental style reflects the spring themes of new life, renewal and childhood that dominated greeting cards of the period. Worth noticing is the contrast between the printed outline and the colors added by hand, a reminder that many of these cards were finished by workers who applied tints one at a time.
