A cartoonish rabbit at the wheel of a small car, with a glossy red Easter egg parked beside it, makes this card a playful take on the holiday. Easter greetings of the early twentieth century often mixed the bunny and egg symbols, which had long stood for spring, renewal and new life, with the everyday novelties of the day, such as the automobile. Cards like this were mass-produced and mailed to friends and family, so they capture how the holiday was being imagined for a broad popular audience. The bright color and lighthearted humor are worth a close look.
