Master Norbert Dittmer lived on Fond-de-Lac Avenue in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; his grandma and grandpa lived nearby.
From the form of address, we may assume that Norbert is a child.
In April of 1908, Norbert received an Easter postcard from his grandparents.
The face of the postcard bears an illustration of a rude, wooden cross adorned with white lilies.
The gilded words, “Easter Greetings” radiate from the base of the drawing.
The illustration is embossed; neither the artist nor the publisher is identified.
At the bottom of the postcard, “grandpa” and “grandma” are inscribed.
One hopes that Norbert and his family, including the grandparents, enjoyed a blessed Easter in 1908.
