Vintage Easter Greeting Card with Chicks and Eggs, Early 1900s

Four freshly-hatched chicks—one dramatically dark-feathered, the rest in varying shades of yellow and brown—have arranged themselves around two pastel eggs on what appears to be a blue cloth, as though staging an intervention for the unhatched. The text reads 'Loving Easter Greetings,' which feels optimistic given that these chicks are clearly plotting something near what are almost certainly the remains of their siblings. There's no tiny hat, no human faces, just four fluffy harbingers of existential dread clustered around the evidence, set against a barn backdrop that suggests this scene has witnesses but no heroes.
