Old-fashioned Easter greetings

Here's a selection of vintage Easter cards from the New York Public Library Digital collection. At the turn of then century, postage for cards was just a penny and the demand for holiday greeting cards kept many artists from starving. You have to smile at these whimsical imaginations...

We hope you're having a beautiful and peaceful Easter day.
