Few Easter images are stranger than a rabbit pulling a snail-drawn cart loaded with eggs, and this postcard shows that odd pairing in full. Easter postcards of this kind were mass-produced in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when printers in Europe and America sent out cheap, brightly colored cards for holiday greetings. Rabbits and eggs had become the standard symbols of spring and new life, and artists often mixed them with playful creatures like snails to make the cards whimsical. The slow snail hauling a load of eggs is a light joke, and it is worth noticing how such cards used humor and fantasy to appeal to children and families.
