Few Easter pictures are as playful as this one, in which a rabbit sits at the wheel of a motor car parked beside an oversized red egg. The pairing of an automobile with a holiday symbol reflects the early twentieth century, when the motor car was still a novelty and postcard and greeting-card artists liked to mix modern technology with traditional seasonal motifs. Easter rabbits and decorated eggs were popular subjects for such cards, and comic scenes like this one were meant to make the holiday feel fresh and amusing to the people who bought and mailed them. Look closely at the details of the car and the egg, since the artist's care with them shows how much fun was intended.
