A rabbit peeks out from a cracked red egg on this vintage Easter card, a motif that became common in American holiday greetings in the early twentieth century. Printed cards like this one were often mailed or handed out in spring, when the rabbit and egg had settled into the visual shorthand for the holiday. The bright red shell, set against a plain ground, shows how color lithography was used to make small paper goods look cheerful and eye-catching. Notice the rabbit's expression and the playful crack in the shell, which give the card its lighthearted charm.
