Victorian Easter Greeting Card with Hen and Chicks
Text on Card
A HAPPY EASTER
Description
A golden hen proudly stands amid her brood of chicks across a pastoral landscape in this charming Victorian-era Easter greeting card. The lithographed scene captures the essence of springtime renewal, with her warm amber and russet plumage contrasting beautifully against her offspring rendered in soft yellows, browns, and darker tones, including one noticeably dark/black chick. A quaint farmhouse nestles among rolling green hills in the background, while the decorative border features delicate silver geometric patterns typical of the period. Ornamental lettering spells out 'A Happy Easter' at the card's base, adorned with small embellishments.
