Victorian Easter Greetings Rooster & Hens Farmyard Card

The cozy thatched cottage sits peacefully in the background, completely unaware it's hosting history's most self-satisfied bird — one magnificently plumed white rooster holding court over four hens of varying colors (gold, dark blue-black, brown, and white) who have arranged themselves in an adoring semicircle around him like groupies at a farmyard concert. The rooster's expression can only be described as insufferably smug, his red comb blazing like the crown of a man who has never once doubted himself. Signed at the bottom 'from Aunt Alice,' which raises the eternal question: what was Aunt Alice trying to communicate about Easter, about roosters, about herself?
