This is the last of the Maher Postcards! This final one, scheduled for the holiday, features “Easter Greetings” with a center image of two yellow chicks hatching out of white eggs, surrounded by pussy willow branches and some sort of pink and white floral garland. The corners are a little torn, and the image is heavily embossed as can be seen on the back side.
The back features a green George Washington one cent stamp with a postmark date of 7 April 1911, sent from Patton, Pennsylvania. The addressee is Master James Maher at 113 Aldrick St, Buffalo, NY, who would’ve been about 6 years old at the time. The message reads, “Hello James, How are you? Anyway I would love to see you and baby brother. We get very lone[some?] for you all. What is the …” and the rest is illegible or missing from the tear on the postcard, but I suspect it asks, “What is the Bunnie going to bring you?” It’s signed upside down at the top, “Love, Your Aunt Sara,” where Sara was likely the sister to James’ father, Bernard. Nice way to wrap up this series with a pretty little card!
