Rather than the usual eggs or spring flowers, this picture stages a small force of rabbits in uniform, posed beside a cannon with a rooster looking on. The humor rests on a familiar illustrative habit of casting animals in soldiers' roles, a device common in prints and greeting cards of the late 1800s and early 1900s. The rooster adds a layer of meaning, since the cockerel had long stood as a national emblem in France, and pairing that symbol with an Easter greeting turns martial display into a cheerful holiday joke. The scene keeps its mood light, setting weapons alongside seasonal good wishes.
