Vintage Easter Postcards from Pennsylvania

Here are more Postcards courtesy of my Pennsylvania cousins.  Very few of these are postmarked-- only one so far.  Perhaps people handed these around on Sunday at Easter services, or at an Easter dinner.  These are from family, just like the others.
This embossed card with a cross and Easter lilies is not dated.  Printed in Germany.

This embossed card features bunnies and lilies.  No date or manufacturer info.


A Joyful Easter is another embossed card, printed in Germany.  Lovely birds and flowers.
Easter joy be with you-- thinner paper and delicate embossing on this Dogwood decorated card.  Printed in Germany.
A Joyful Easter-- lilies wreathed around a cross.  Embossed card from Tucks.  Raphael Tuck and Sons, Easter Post Cards series no. 703.  Art publishers to their majesties the King and Queen.
This embossed postcard reads, 'To wish you a Happy Easter.'  Dogwoods decorate a hillside with a church in the distance.  
This one, featuring bunnies in a car hauling a garden egg, is embossed and metallic.  "May thine be a happy Easter.'  Printed in Germany.

'Easter Greetings' is also embossed with a wreath of pink and white lilies on a brown ground.  

With loving wishes for a happy Easter.  A nice verse with bells and blossoms decorate this embossed card.  Dated Easter 1910.
To Wish you a Happy Easter features a gift with chicks popping through the wrapping.  It's embossed and made by Raphael Tuck and Sons, Easter Post Cards series 300, printed in Saxony by appointment.  Art publishers to their majesties the King and Queen.

A Joyful Easter shows lilies overlaid with a cross, with an inset of a water scene.  It's also embossed, printed in America, dated Easter 1910.
This soft watercolor 'Best Easter Wishes' features a new sunrise among clear roads and lovely flowers.  A verse is partially visible, "The earth awakes at EastertimeThe bells peal forth a happy chime, May every flower of opening Spring, To you and yours much gladness bring."  This card is postmarked April 1919.  

Another verse adorns this baby chick among dogwood blossoms.  'Best Easter Wishes-- Gladness and singing birds and budding trees.  The Season's peace and joy, I wish you these.'  

The Christian Symbol of Christ dominates this embossed 'Easter Greetings' postcard.  Dated April 11, 1909, it features a wreath of lillies around the center of the cross.
