A luminous chromolithographed Christ child in blue and orange robes cradles a white lamb while a flock of sheep encircles him on a lush green ground — this "Fröhliche Ostern" (Happy Easter) card glows with the rich, jewel-toned color printing that made German-language Easter cards of the 1890s among the finest chromolithographic works of the era, the golden halo catching the eye before yielding to the tender pastoral scene below. Mailed from Vienna in 1895 with a 2 Kreuzer Austro-Hungarian stamp (Scott Austria #51 or similar), the card carries a handwritten German Easter greeting in the flowing Kurrent script typical of the period, addressed to a recipient in Vienna's 7th district (VII Bezirk), and signed affectionately by a sender identifying as a "Freundin" (female friend). At over 125 years old, this undivided-back pre-linen card is a lovely survivor of the golden age of European chromolithographic postcard art.
