Easter greeting cards like this one, showing a rabbit riding a decorated egg with a chick along for the trip, belong to a boom in holiday postcards and cards that began in the late 19th century and peaked in the early 20th. Printers in the United States, Germany and Britain turned out large runs of cards with whimsical animals, flowers and eggs, often lithographed in bright color and sent through the mail as cheap, cheerful tokens of the season. The rabbit, a long-standing symbol of spring fertility, had become the holiday's most familiar figure by then, and an animal shown riding an egg was a playful twist on the traditional scene. Cards of this kind are useful today as a record of how Easter was marketed and imagined in everyday households.
