About this postcard

An Easter greeting shows a gilt cross entwined with sprays of purple blossoms beneath the printed words "Easter Peace." A mother sent the card to M. W. Nichols in Walton, New York, wishing the family a happy Easter and signing off as Mother. German-made embossed Easter cards of this type were common in the American market in the early 20th century.
