Angels, a cross, and a sheaf of primroses share the front of this Easter greetings card, a combination that ties the holiday's religious meaning to the spring flowers that bloom as the season turns. Printed Easter cards like this one became popular in the late 1800s, when improved color printing made small, affordable sentimental cards widely available. Primroses were a favorite motif because they flower early in the year and stood for renewal, while angels recalled the message given at the empty tomb. Cards of this kind were usually exchanged among family and friends, so they reflect both devotion and the growing custom of sending seasonal greetings.
