EASTER GREETINGS

Description

Distinctive for its inventive die-cut egg shape that frames a complete farmyard scene, this Victorian-era Easter greeting card is a marvel of chromolithographic design. Within the white egg border sits a pastoral landscape featuring a vibrant rooster, brown hen, white rabbit, broken eggshells, and rolling green fields beneath a blue sky, all crowned by ornate gold lettering reading 'Easter Greetings.' This late 19th-century card exemplifies the ornamental sophistication and nature-inspired imagery characteristic of the era, merging the symbolism of spring renewal with cheerful farm imagery.
