Rabbits piloting a car full of eggs is an odd bit of whimsy, and it is the kind of image that made Easter postcards popular in the early 1900s. Cards like this one usually drew on the holiday's pairing of rabbits and eggs, then played them for laughs: animals acting like people, with a bit of motion and mischief. Such cards were mailed in large numbers, often sent with a short handwritten note, so they were both decoration and everyday correspondence. Looking closely, you can see how artists of the period used bright color and exaggerated detail to make a simple holiday greeting feel lively.
