A pale blue cluster of forget-me-nots spills from a cracked egg on this Easter greeting card, the small five-petaled flowers painted in the delicate tones that the holiday's card trade favored. Easter postcards and cards grew popular in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when mass printing made colorful lithographs affordable for ordinary households. Forget-me-nots, whose name reflects a tradition of remembrance, paired naturally with the idea of spring renewal, and the cracked shell suggests new life emerging.
