EASTER BLESSINGS

Description

A pastoral landscape with rolling green hills provides the setting for this stunning Victorian Easter greeting card, where a religious chromolithograph features Jesus Christ holding a lamb (not an infant child), surrounded by attentive lambs in the scene. Jesus also holds a shepherd's crook in his right hand. The sacred scene is framed by an ornate dark border and surrounded by elaborate botanical illustration of daffodils and what appears to be pussy willow branches with delicate green foliage. The bottom reads 'EASTER BLESSINGS' in gold lettering. This card exemplifies the sentimental religious imagery and botanical decoration popular during the late Victorian era, combining spiritual devotion with horticultural beauty typical of Easter observance in the nineteenth century.
