JOYFUL EASTER

Description

"Joyful Easter" reads the gold lettering on this charming Victorian greeting card, a stunning example of chromolithographic printing at its finest. Two adorable yellow chicks take center stage—one wearing a red conductor or bellhop-style cap (not a ribbon bow) and the other nestled in a decorated Easter egg mounted on a wheeled cart. Delicate forget-me-nots in pale blue and pussy willow branches frame the composition on the right, while a scalloped oval window and gentle pastoral green background create the intimate, jewel-box quality typical of high-quality Victorian holiday ephemera.
