About this postcard

An Easter greeting centered on a hanging blue banner bearing the resurrection text "Christ is risen, Christ is risen, O'er the universe to reign," with white Easter lilies and a cross above and "Easter Happiness" below. The lilies and the resurrection text place the card in the familiar devotional imagery of the holiday, when Easter postcards often combined floral borders with hymn verses and a short printed blessing.
