Today’s antique Easter postcards are beyond cute.
Y’all, my collection has a ton of Easter in it, so I had lots of material to choose from for this week’s post. There are fluffy bunnies, sweet ducklings, and round little chicks; in fact, there’s so much cute that I don’t know where to start.
So I’ll just begin with something silly.
The only salvageable part of this card was its main graphic, and what a stunner it is. Those chickens look surprised. I can’t blame them, that egg is bigger than they are! You could take the chickens and use them on their own without the big blue egg if you really wanted to.
The cool part about a lot of these antique Easter postcards is that they’re on a metallic background. They might be part of a series, it’s hard for me to say—truthfully, I scanned these a while back and don’t remember what logos were on them.
I love how the third chick has its wings wide open.
This one is admittedly cuter if you don’t look too closely at the chicks.
So young, and yet, so done with everything, judging by the look on its face. Note how one of the flower stems is curled around the big ‘E’.
Lily-of-the-Valley makes an appearance in a lot of Easter cards and not just this batch. Lilies in general, as you’ll likely note from this post of 15 religious Easter images.
Are they on a boat? It sure looks like it, or in a bowl on water. It’s a very strange postcard, probably some kind of symbolism but I’ll be damned if I can figure it out.
Vintage Easter postcards with ducks
You didn’t think I’d deny you adorable Easter ducks, did you? Come on now, I’m not that cruel. This one even has a neat little hat.
A perfect little duck, fluffy and yellow, a prime example of what makes an excellent antique Easter postcard. Don’t pay any attention to the Bluebird of Crappiness in the top corner. Seriously, what’s with that? Everything else is fantastic.
Antique Easter bunny postcards
FINALLY.
Plump bunnies. Flowers. An egg. Utter perfection.
And now your requisite BUNNY JUMPSCARE.
It’s like one of those medieval bestiaries where the artist has never seen a live rabbit and is guessing what one looks like based on vibes and drunken stories.
At least the flowers are nice!
I hope you enjoyed this week’s selection! Until next time, ta ta for now.
