Victorian Easter Greeting Card with Child & Lambs

Easter Greetings
Description
At the center of this composition stands a child in a white dotted dress playfully interacting with two lambs harnessed to a decorative wheeled cart carrying a large coral-pink oval Easter egg bearing 'Easter Greetings.' The scene is adorned with delicate floral garlands, while the lambs are depicted against a lush landscape featuring rolling hills, distant church architecture, and verdant trees rendered in soft chromolithograph tones. This charming Victorian Easter greeting exemplifies the era's use of lambs as Easter symbols and romanticized childhood imagery in an idyllic pastoral setting.
