The embroidered silk postcard is common at the time and expresses affection for the receiver. Its use is sentimental. This type of greeting card is made of a blank postcard onto which an embossed paper frame has been glued, to hold a central piece of silk. On the silk, a design is hand-embroidered in coloured thread. In this case it features a basketful of white lilies over which is embroidered Happy Easter. It is dated April 20th, 1916 and written in English.
Greeting cards of this type were sold in thin paper envelopes but were seldom sent through the mail. They were too fragile and, more particularly, they were not cheap souvenirs. Usually they were mailed with letters. For this reason, there are no stamps on them.
