Easter greeting cards like this one, with a smiling baby posed beside a fluffy chick, belong to a long American tradition of holiday ephemera that mixed religious spring symbolism with sentimental images of childhood. Chicks and eggs had long stood for new life, and by the early twentieth century printers were turning them into cheerful cards that families mailed or tucked into Easter baskets. The pairing of a child and a chick was especially popular, since it linked the holiday's theme of renewal to the innocence of the young. Cards like this were usually produced in large runs and were often kept in scrapbooks, which is why so many survive today.
