Easter Greetings

Description

Spring's pastoral charm unfolds in this Victorian Easter greeting, where two cherubic children in period dress sit perched atop a large oversized Easter egg. The boy wears striped lederhosen and carries a flower-filled basket, while the girl in a red bodice and golden yellow skirt reaches upward with a branch, her head crowned with a delicate floral wreath. A white lamb adorned with a floral garland grazes below in an idyllic garden scene of wildflowers, all rendered in vivid chromolithograph tones that capture the innocence of the season.
