Easter cards of this kind, with a rabbit peering from a cracked egg, were a popular part of the holiday custom that grew in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when printers began producing inexpensive chromolithographed greetings for mailing. The egg, a symbol of new life and spring, pairs with the rabbit, a figure whose association with Easter spread through German tradition into America. Such cards were often exchanged among children and family members, and their bright colors and sentimental tone reflect the era's taste for pictorial correspondence.
