A young girl peers out from inside an oversized, decorated egg, a playful image that turns the holiday symbol into a frame for the portrait. The greeting printed across the card, "A very happy Easter to you," places it among the illustrated holiday postcards that were widely mailed in the decades around 1900, when the postal service made sending pictures cheap and commonplace. Cards like this were often produced in large runs with bright color and sentimental motifs, and they reflected how Easter was celebrated in homes as a season of spring, new life and small gifts for children.
