A girl holding a large blue egg against a sprig of pussy willows gives this Easter postcard its quiet charm, and the sprig is a telling detail. In the early twentieth century, when holiday postcards were mass-produced and mailed in huge numbers, pussy willows stood in for spring in many American and European households, since they bloom before the leaves return. Printed greetings like this one carried sentiment cheaply across the mail, and the pairing of a child with a painted egg was a familiar way to signal renewal and the season's gentler mood.
