Rabbits pulling a basket of painted eggs make this one a classic of the Easter postcard, a form that took off in Europe in the late 1800s when color lithography and cheap mail made small illustrated cards affordable for almost anyone. The French greeting "Heureuses Pâques" (Happy Easter) places it within that tradition, where rabbits and eggs stood in for the spring themes of renewal and abundance. Cards like this were sent between relatives and friends, often with a short handwritten note on the back, so they survive as both art and everyday correspondence. Look closely at the bright, slightly stylized colors, which show how printers of the period used bold tones to catch the eye in a crowded rack.
