Embossed Easter cards like this one, with a child and a bird, were a staple of the late 1800s and early 1900s, when printers in Germany, Britain and the United States turned out large runs of them for the spring holiday. The raised, pressed surface gave the card a tactile quality that set it apart from flat lithographs, and the pairing of a young child with a bird was a common motif meant to suggest new life and gentle innocence. Cards of this kind were often exchanged between family members and friends, so many survive tucked into albums or letters. Looking closely at the embossing and the colored printing shows how much handwork went into each one.
