Easter postcards like this one, with a rabbit bursting out of a painted egg, belong to a boom in holiday cards that swept the United States and Europe in the early 1900s. Printers used color lithography to mass-produce these greetings cheaply, and the rabbit and egg pairing became a shorthand for spring renewal and the holiday's gift-giving customs. Notice how the bright, bold colors and decorative borders reflect the commercial style of the period, when a card could be a small, affordable way to send good wishes across the miles.
