Easter postcards like this one, showing a boy riding a balloon, were a popular genre in the early twentieth century, when printers produced huge runs of holiday cards for a mass market. The balloon motif combined two ideas that appealed to card buyers: spring renewal and the thrill of flight, which was still a novelty to many people at the time. Cards of this kind were often mailed with short handwritten messages, so they now survive as both artwork and everyday correspondence. Worth noticing are the bright color printing and the sentimental styling typical of holiday cards from that era.
