Two rabbits, dressed as women in long skirts and bonnets, share a swing in this scene, a playful piece of the Victorian habit of putting animals in human clothes. Images like this were popular as greeting cards and magazine illustrations around the turn of the twentieth century, when printers could reproduce color drawings cheaply and sentimental holiday imagery was in demand. The gentle humor of animals behaving like people made such pictures a natural fit for Easter, a season tied to rabbits and spring renewal.
