Description

Warmth and sentiment radiate from this charming Victorian Easter greeting, featuring a cherubic young girl in a flowing pink dress and white bonnet holding two woven baskets — one containing Easter eggs and one with spring flowers and a white rabbit nestled inside. The card's elegant typography presents 'Easter Greeting' in flowing script at the top, with sentiments below wishing good fortune on Easter Day. The delicate illustration style exemplifies the sentimental aesthetic of late-19th century greeting card design.
