Easter Chicks – Trio of 1909 Postmarked Chromolithograph Postcards

A charming group of three early Easter postcards, each featuring lively anthropomorphic chicks rendered in soft chromolithographic color. All three are postmarked 1909, offering a unified date range and strong visual coherence—ideal for collectors who enjoy early 20th-century seasonal imagery.

Designs include:
+++ Chicks tugging an earthworm beneath blooming irises (‘Easter Greetings’)
+++ A vignette of chicks emerging through torn paper with a four-leaf clover motif (‘A Happy Easter’)
+++ A basket of chicks nestled among pussy willows with dyed eggs in foreground

Condition: Light handling and corner wear appropriate for mailed cards of the period. Colors remain bright with good surface retention; divided backs with clear 1909 postal markings.

Easter postcards from 1900–1910 remain among the most collectible holiday issues, especially those depicting chicks and seasonal flora rendered in high-quality chromolithography. Their gentle humor, soft palette, and celebratory themes make them perennial favorites with both general postcard collectors and holiday-specialty buyers.
