...an Easter Postcard





It was once common in Britain to send greetings to friends and family, not just on birthdays and at Christmas but at Easter too. This card was sent during the First World War to Miss Betty Blyth, a vicar's daughter, by her Aunt Florence. It is a French produced postcard, overprinted with English words. The goat is presumably anticipating a meal.
