Easter cards like this one, showing a rabbit drummer beside a chick, were a popular form of holiday greeting in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Printers produced them in large numbers, often in color lithography, so that families could send a cheerful wish to relatives and friends in the weeks before the holiday. The rabbit with a drum is a playful figure: the drum suggests a parade or a festive march, while the chick pairs the card with the spring renewal that Easter symbolism has long carried. Notice how such cards combined simple sentiment with bright, decorative detail, which is much of their appeal today.
