About this postcard

Three blue chicks march in a row across a bright red ground above the gold-script German greeting "Fröhliche Ostern" (Happy Easter). The card was mailed from Munich to Charlotte S. Hassett in Amesbury, Massachusetts, with Easter greetings signed Ella. In the early 1900s, German printers produced a large share of the illustrated postcards sold abroad, and Easter cards moved through the same mail as ordinary correspondence.
