Dressed rabbits and birds fill this vintage Easter postcard, a style that was popular in the early 1900s when illustrated holiday cards were mass-produced and mailed in large numbers. Anthropomorphic animals in human clothing, with bonnets, coats, and little parasols, appeared often on greeting cards of that era, where whimsy and sentiment were the main selling points. Cards like this one were typically sent with a short handwritten note, so they often survive today with messages and postmarks that add to their charm. Look closely at the lively colors and the careful lettering, which reflect the chromolithography methods common to the period.
