Victorian Easter Greeting Card with Woman, Child & Lamb

A frilly blue dress, a basket of eggs, and two lambs — one functioning as a piece of furniture — tell the story of 'All Happiness at Easter,' which apparently involves a woman kneeling in a field while a baby with the proportions of a tiny haunted Victorian portrait gestures aggressively at the egg-laden lamb. The toddler, dressed in yellow and pink, has the dead-eyed thousand-yard stare of someone who has seen things, possibly related to how that lamb became a makeshift egg table. Meanwhile, the first lamb grazes peacefully in the foreground, blissfully unaware it is one bad decision away from also becoming furniture, its little red collar a chic accessory for the doomed. The ornate gold script frame announcing 'All Happiness' has the audacity to look elegant about the whole situation.
