Victorian Easter cards often leaned on a small set of symbols, and this one pairs an angel with lilies and a lamb, three images that together point to the Resurrection. Lilies, especially the white Easter lily, stood for purity and new life, while the lamb recalled Christ as the sacrificial "Lamb of God." Cards like this were exchanged in the late 1800s, when printed greetings were becoming cheap enough for ordinary families to send to friends and relatives. Their bright chromolithographed colors and decorative borders reflect how fashionable the form had become, and they now offer a window into how Victorians expressed faith and affection at Easter.
