Hens and chicks are the detail that sets this card apart from the rabbits and painted eggs that dominate most Easter postcards. The motif draws on an older link between spring, fertility and new life, which was carried into holiday greetings as printed cards grew popular in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Postcards of this kind were cheap, quick to mail and often sent to family or friends as a seasonal wish, so they capture everyday sentiment as much as artistic style. Look at the coloring and the lettering, which often reveal the printing methods of the period.
