Vintage Easter Card: Child, Woman & Lamb in Pastel Edwardian Art

The inexplicable decision to render everyone in a rosy-lavender embossed palette that gives them all the complexion of a Victorian ghost who died *tastefully* is where this card truly commits to its vision. Nothing says 'Christ is Risen' like a woman leaning over a wall to hand a small child a basket while two lambs lounge in the foreground like they own the property — which, frankly, they do. The child's enormous hat suggests she came prepared for either Easter or a Kentucky Derby she was not invited to. The lambs, unbothered and resting in the lower corner, are the only characters here with any dignity — they did not ask to be on this card, but here they are, serving as spiritual props for humanity's annual egg-based denial of death.
