An angel holding a bunch of daisies is the central figure on this Easter card, which carries the printed line "An Eastertoken" across its design. Cards of this kind were a popular Victorian and Edwardian custom, exchanged between friends and relatives as small tokens of affection during the spring holiday. Daisies, with their flowers opening after winter, were a common emblem of renewal and hope, and pairing them with an angel gave the sentiment a devotional tone. The "Eastertoken" wording places the card firmly within that gift-giving tradition, when printed greetings were often tucked into letters or given by hand.
