Vintage Easter Greeting Card: Child on Goat with Yellow Flowers

The background reveals the goat — who has a bell around its neck and the thousand-yard stare of someone three hours into a family holiday — trotting forward with grim determination. This Easter card essentially asks: what if a child, dressed in a mint-green outfit and clutching both a straw hat and a fistful of yellow daffodils, rode a small white goat into your heart? The child somehow manages to carry a pink sack full of colored eggs too, because apparently one whimsical detail was never going to be enough. The child's expression radiates the unsettling calm of someone who has absolutely done this before and will do it again, hat raised triumphantly skyward like a tiny unhinged conquistador conquering Easter itself.
