Historical Context & Description

This charming white border postcard features an illustration of two cherubic children's faces nestled within large Easter lilies, accompanied by the text 'Easter Greetings.' The artwork is typical of early 20th-century holiday postcards, capturing the innocence and joy associated with Easter celebrations. The card is part of Series D, as indicated on the back.

The back of the postcard, which is divided, contains a handwritten message in purple ink. The message reads: 'Dear Sister and all, I will drop you a few lines that we are all well. I hope you are all well. I have not heard from you yet. I think your chickens are all right yet. I have not gathered any eggs yet. I got quite a few hens. I will send for some eggs to this. I pray you could come down. Things are by now.' The card is not postmarked, and there is no stamp present.

This postcard documents early 20th-century Easter traditions and communication practices. The use of floral imagery and handwritten messages reflects the social customs of the time. Surviving examples provide valuable insights into personal correspondence and holiday celebrations of the era.
