Titled simply "Easter," this picture takes the holiday itself as its subject rather than a particular church, town or family. Easter falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox, and for Christians it marks the resurrection of Jesus, the center of the church year. Across the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Easter images in American and European print culture often paired spring flowers, eggs and lambs with religious themes, blending faith and seasonal renewal. Those symbols of new life would have been widely recognized by viewers of the time.
