Lead with the cherub: a small winged figure sits atop an Easter egg, bowing a violin while daffodils bloom around it. The pairing is a typical late-nineteenth and early-twentieth-century greeting-card motif, when printers produced large numbers of sentimental illustrations for spring holidays. Easter cards of that era often blended religious symbols like the egg, which stood for resurrection and new life, with flowers and playful figures such as angels and cherubs. Daffodils, among the first blooms of the year, carried similar meanings of renewal and hope. Look closely at the fine line work and soft color, which reflect the chromolithography and engraving techniques popular at the time.
