Two hens stand side by side on this Easter greeting card, a small, cheerful pairing that was a popular motif in the early twentieth century, when printed postcards and cards with holiday wishes were widely mailed. The hen, with its association with spring and new life, fit naturally alongside the eggs and bunnies that defined the season's imagery. Cards like this one were often chromolithographed, with bright inks layered to give the birds rich color, and they were exchanged between family and friends as affordable, personal tokens. Look closely at the printed wording, which shows how the sentiment was framed for a holiday built around renewal.
