Dancing rabbits paired with swallows make this Easter postcard an unusual pairing, since the rabbit has long been the holiday's emblem while swallows more often signal spring's return. Cards like this were part of a boom in illustrated holiday postcards in the late 1800s and early 1900s, when printers turned out colorful greetings in huge numbers and people mailed them to friends and family. Their cheerful, anthropomorphic animals reflect the era's taste for whimsy, and the cards offer a window into how Easter was celebrated as a season of renewal and playful good wishes.
