Vintage Easter Greeting Card Girl Feeding Chickens Farm 1900s

The child's expression—detached and weary—reads less 'joyful' and more 'I have been managing livestock since before I could speak and I am tired,' which makes the cheerful script announcing 'A Joyful Easter' at the bottom do a lot of heavy lifting. Blessed with a dark velvet cap, a billowing teal floral dress, and the energy of a tiny Victorian landlord, this blonde girl surveys her poultry empire with absolute authority, extending one hand toward a rooster the approximate size of a small dog while two hens mill about in what can only be described as productive chaos, all set against a suspiciously perfect rolling green meadow dotted with yellow flowers and farmhouses in the distance.
