Easter cards like this one, with bells and primroses, belong to a long tradition of seasonal greeting cards that took off in Britain and America in the late 1800s, when printing advances made colored lithographs cheap enough for ordinary households to send to friends and family. The pairing of bells and primroses is worth noticing: church bells rang out to mark the resurrection, while primroses were among the first wildflowers to bloom in early spring, so both carried the message of renewal that the holiday celebrated. Cards of this kind were often tucked into letters or left on mantelpieces, and their soft, pastel palettes reflected the sentimental taste of the period.
