Victorian Easter Greeting Card with Yellow Chicks and Basket

The relationship between the fluffy yellow chicks and their woven basket of white eggs is purely territorial—a hostile takeover, really—flanked by clusters of purple violets and pussy willow branches, because if you wanted to convey 'resurrection holiday' in greeting card form, obviously baby chickens looming over their unhatched brethren is the move. Presiding over this domestic standoff is a comically oversized green decorative egg tied with a massive satin ribbon bow that dwarfs the entire scene like some kind of Fabergé deity. The cursive 'A Happy Easter' floats above it all in cheerful red script, blissfully unaware that it's signed off on what is essentially a poultry power struggle with floral garnish. Cute? Sure. Existentially troubling once you clock the egg-to-chick ratio? Absolutely.
