Easter cards like this one, with a boy surrounded by hens and chicks, drew on the idea of spring renewal that made fowl and newly hatched birds a popular emblem of the season. Postcards of this kind were mass-produced in the early twentieth century, when illustrated greetings were a cheap and fashionable way to send seasonal wishes by mail. The sentimental pairing of a child with farm animals reflects the period's taste for rural, wholesome scenes, and the bright hand-colored look typical of the era is worth noticing. Its small format also tells you how it was meant to be read: quickly, held in the hand, and passed along with a few handwritten words.
