Vintage Easter Greeting Card with Rooster and Chicks

While the card celebrates resurrection and new life, it depicts a magnificently plumed rooster with iridescent blue-green tail feathers looming over his exhausted hen wife, who is apparently still processing the existence of the several tiny yellow chicks scrambling around her feet — one of which is still mid-escape from its shell, because apparently even being born is a chaotic ordeal in this household. The lone red egg sitting on the ground between the adults has the vibe of evidence at a crime scene, and the rooster's wide-eyed, confrontational stare suggests he has Opinions about it. The whole scene is framed by an art nouveau border with little decorative pods that look suspiciously like something you'd find in a head shop, which feels about right for a card that radiates 'functional family on the surface, deeply unresolved tensions underneath.'
