Easter - Spring Postcard

This European Victorian era postcard represents the coming of Spring during Easter. I'm not sure whether the women inside the eggs are nurses?

Date & Place: in USA

I believe these girls might be foundlings - they are wearing uniforms very reminiscent of those worn at the London Foundling Hospital (1749-1954). There is an image of girls at prayer on this page of the museum dedicated to the history of the foundation.

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth. So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her. For more information about what we're building see About AncientFaces. For information on the folks who build and support the community see Daniel - Founder & Creator.
My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
