Vintage Easter Greeting Card: Goat-Drawn Egg Wagon, Edwardian

The small child perched atop this egg-shaped carriage looks perfectly content wielding what appears to be a branch of pussy willow like he's about to flog the livestock into a full gallop, as if this logistical nightmare of a vehicle is entirely reasonable. Two white goats, harnessed like they're hauling freight for Big Egg Industries, strain to pull the massive red egg-shaped carriage packed to the brim with white eggs — because apparently one egg is never enough. The egg-cart itself is bolted together with industrial-looking metal hardware, suggesting some unhinged Victorian engineer sat down and thought, 'Yes, this is how Easter should be celebrated — with load-bearing egg vehicles and child labor.' The pastoral green hills and bare trees in the background only underscore how completely normal everyone involved seems to think this is.
