Victorian Easter Joy Greeting Card with Violets, Hen & Chicks

A tiny gold dandelion wand floats mysteriously in the composition like it wandered in from a different, more whimsical card entirely, while a hen desperately forages in the grass with approximately seven chicks swarming her feet in what can only be described as a poultry hostage situation. The Art Nouveau fan-shaped vignette cradles the purple violets with the tender reverence usually reserved for religious relics. Meanwhile, the cursive reminder that 'Love, peace and happiness, This Easter Morn will bless' hits differently when the only characters depicted are a visibly harassed mother and her chaotic brood.
