Vintage Russian Easter Card with Child in Traditional Dress
Text on Card
Христос Воскресе!
Description
A young child in traditional Slavic costume commands the center of this charming Russian Easter greeting card, dressed in an embroidered white shirt and vibrant red skirt paired with an ornate kerchief. She holds a plate of decorated Easter eggs, rendered in warm, naturalistic tones against a soft golden background. The Russian text "Христос Воскресе" (Christ is Risen) and "Воскресение" (Resurrection) frames the composition in elegant blue lettering. This chromolithograph exemplifies late 19th-century Eastern European folk-inspired greeting card design, celebrating Easter traditions with cultural authenticity and artistic charm.
