Lead with the rabbit: a drummer rabbit leads a parade of chicks, the kind of anthropomorphic animal scene that postcard makers favored in the early 1900s. Cards like this were sent to wish friends a happy Easter, often printed in color lithography that gave the fur, feathers and bright spring tones a bold, storybook look. The pairing of a rabbit and chicks reflects the holiday's folk associations with new life and fertility, while the marching band theme drew on the popularity of military and circus music in everyday entertainment. Notice how the small chicks follow in step, a playful touch that made these cards a favorite for children.
