Easter postcards like this one, showing a girl cradling a white rabbit, were a popular genre in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when illustrated cards were mailed in great numbers for holidays and birthdays. The pairing of a child with a rabbit draws on the Easter Bunny tradition, which spread through German and then American custom in the 1800s, and it reflects the era's sentimental taste for innocent, animal-loving children. Cards of this kind were often printed in color lithography and sent with short handwritten messages, so they now serve as a small record of holiday sentiment and printing technique. Notice how the soft pastel palette and the rabbit's pale coat work together to suggest spring.
