Chicks hatching from an egg, with the greeting "All joy to you this Eastertide," give this card its particular character: it leans on the old pairing of spring, new life and the Easter egg rather than on religious imagery. Eastertide, the season running from Easter through Pentecost in the church calendar, was a phrase that greeting-card makers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries used often, lending a warm, slightly formal tone to a holiday that was by then widely celebrated with cards, candy and family gatherings. Lithographed cards like this one were produced in large numbers and mailed or handed out in the days before and after Easter, so they offer a useful glimpse of how the holiday was marketed and sentimentalized.
