A painted rabbit stands beside a decorated egg on this Easter greetings card, which makes the image a small piece of seasonal ephemera rather than a formal portrait or landscape. Cards like this one were widely mailed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when chromolithography and inexpensive color printing made sentimental holiday imagery affordable for ordinary households. The rabbit and the painted egg both point to older European spring customs, which American families adopted and reshaped into the modern Easter tradition. Look closely at the hand-decorated egg and the rabbit's pose, since these small touches show how illustrators tried to make a simple greeting feel personal.
