Vintage Easter Greeting Card with Child, Lamb & Violets

Behind every cheerful Easter card lies a specific scenario: a chubby, curly-haired toddler in a white dress has somehow acquired a tiny yellow chick, secured it against her chest like a hostage, and is now triumphantly brandishing a bunch of purple flowers while her smile—aggressively red and wide—could be read from space. The child's blue bow, apparently the era's mandatory accessory, is mirrored on the lamb she's dragging across the grass on a blue leash, because if you wanted to convey the resurrection of Christ, obviously accessorized livestock on a collar with a little gold bell is the move. The lamb, for its part, has its nose firmly in the grass and appears to be attempting an escape, which is the most relatable energy in this entire composition. 'A Happy Easter To You,' declares the caption, as if daring you to argue.
