An Easter greeting card showing a large white cross outlined in gold against a brown ground, its interior filled with a sunrise or sunset landscape over water with small buildings and bare trees. Sprays of blue forget-me-nots with pink buds, printed in embossed relief, twine around the cross. Easter cards of this style, pairing the cross with spring flowers and a dawn landscape, were a staple of the early twentieth-century greeting postcard trade.
