Text on Card

Fröhliche Ostern [Happy Easter] with handwritten inscription below (partially legible, appears to include 'Rosa Kostne' or similar name)

Description

An angel child and a pastoral landscape share the frame in this charming Victorian-era Easter greeting card. The gentle figure features golden curled hair, white wings, and a warm gaze toward the viewer while clutching a bouquet of cheerful white daisies with golden centers. Behind the angelic form, a quaint stone church with a pointed steeple and blooming flowering trees creates a peaceful, spiritual atmosphere. The soft color palette of pale greens, sky blues, and cream tones enhances the card's ethereal, devotional quality. The decorative German text "Fröhliche Ostern" (Happy Easter) is rendered in ornate period lettering, with handwritten inscription below suggesting this was a personal correspondence piece.
