Few Easter greetings from the turn of the twentieth century combined a cross, a crown of thorns, a cherub, and a spray of violets in a single design, and this card shows how sentiment and devotion were folded into everyday holiday correspondence. Easter cards of this period were often printed in chromolithography or embossed paper and mailed to friends and family, so their imagery drew on familiar Christian symbols: the cross for the crucifixion, the thorns for Christ's suffering, and the cherub for the angelic presence at the empty tomb. Violets, one of the first flowers of spring, signaled renewal and were a common motif on greeting cards of the era.
