Easter Ernest Faces Iris Nister Turn
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting turn-of-the-century Easter greetings card featuring a whimsical arrangement of iris flower faces. Dating back to approximately 1906, this vintage postcard captures the playful imagination of children during an era when floral motifs, particularly those incorporating human-like features, were all the rage. The iris flower, with its distinctive fan-shaped sepals and elegant petals, was a popular choice for such designs due to its unique and expressive form. In this charming composition, the iris petals have been artfully arranged to resemble the curious faces of children, their wide-eyed gazes and rosy cheeks adding a delightful touch of mischief and wonder. This postcard, which is believed to have been produced around 1906, reflects the historical trend of using flowers to create intricate and imaginative representations of human features. The popularity of such designs can be attributed to the Romantic and Victorian eras, during which flowers were often used as symbols of emotion and sentiment. As you hold this vintage postcard in your hands, you can almost hear the laughter and excitement of children as they exchanged these whimsical Easter greetings with their friends and family. A true treasure for flower lovers, collectors, and those who appreciate the history of art and design, this iris flower face postcard is a beautiful reminder of the enchantment and innocence of a bygone era.
