| Brief Description |
This portrait-format postcard features a young chick on a small cluster of straw, with a large bunch of violets bound with a blue ribbon, framed with a pale peach and blue border with violets in each corner. The text printed on its lower edge reads "Easter Greetings".
The postcard has been inscribed on the reverse with an address to Miss Dulcie Davis, Waverley, Taranaki, from Aunty Nellie.
Also hand-written in black ink on the reverse is, "Dear Dossie, Are you all better of / the measles I thought you were not going / to get them. We are having very cold / weather & wet but then place is not so bad. / How are all the others is Willie better? / I hope Annie & Ada are practising their / music till I come back or woe betide / them. I thought you would have / written [illegible] Liz & me a letter before / this but I suppose you are not better. How / is Mummy & Daddy & Aunty Martha? / Is the school still closed they are / having a holiday up here for the / coronation this next week. I must close / with love to you all from Aunty Nellie."
The postcard text mentions schools closing for the Coronation; this could be Edward VII in 1901 or George V in 1910.
