Easter Carols

Description

A child and a menagerie of spring creatures share an enchanted Easter moment in this charming Victorian-era greeting card. A cherubic youngster with brown curly hair and a blue bow sits suspended in a golden ribbon hammock, cradling a book labeled 'Easter Carols' while surrounded by tall spring flowers and cheerful yellow chicks that perch playfully along the ribbons. Below, white rabbits sit in the grass, completing the pastoral springtime scene rendered in soft pastels that create a dreamy, whimsical atmosphere typical of late-19th-century Easter cards. The word 'Greetings' appears at the bottom.
