A brown hen with dark tail feathers stands at right while four yellow chicks gather around a cluster of Easter eggs, one large white and others pink and pale blue, nestled among pink and white daisies. A farmhouse and trees fill the background under a pale gray-blue sky, with "Loving Easter Greetings" printed in purple script. The farmyard scene draws on spring and renewal imagery common in Easter cards of the period, when holiday postcards were a popular way to send greetings.
Worn corners with paper loss and edge chipping; light surface scuffing; pale gray-blue background typical of early lithographed holiday cards.
Postmark: circular duplex cancellation, town name illegible, N.J. 25 MAY 26 P.M. 1910. Divided-back Tuck's "Easter Post Cards" Series No. 701, printed in Saxony; heavy brown foxing/staining over the whole back, worn and chipped corners.
