May Easter Joys attend thee

Description

"May Easter Joys Attend Thee" reads the inscription on this charming Victorian Easter greeting card, which celebrates spring's arrival with a yellow chick perched atop a woven nest containing eggs, including a cracked/hatching egg. The nest sits at the base of an embossed silver cross, which serves as the central compositional element. The scene is surrounded by abundant pink and white blossoms. A decorative blue ribbon bow appears at the top of the card. A blue tile-patterned border frames the entire composition.
