Now, we never sent Easter cards, it wasn’t a family tradition.
Come to think about it I don’t recall seeing them in the shops when I was growing up, but they must have been there, and the practice goes back a long time.
This I know from the card David Harrop sent me today.
It can be dated to the early 20th century, but as it was not sent through the post there is no date, added to which given that there are several European languages on the reverse its origins could be anywhere.
But as David shared it with me, I shall pass it on.
And because l can.
