A HAPPY EASTER All His work is ended, Jesus hath ascended: Joyfully we sing, Glory to our King.

Description

Framed by intricate floral borders in mustard yellow and coral tones with decorative vine patterns, this exquisite Victorian Easter greeting card showcases two celestial angels in flowing white robes surrounding a magnificent golden bell rendered in delicate chromolithographic detail. One angel reaches upward to ring or hold the large golden bell, while the second angel stands nearby in a reverent pose. The golden bell represents the announcement of Christ's resurrection, a common motif in Victorian religious greeting card art that combined theological symbolism with romantic sentimentality.
