Rather than a holiday scene with adults, this postcard centers on a child dressed in a bunny costume, carrying baskets of decorated eggs. Easter postcards like this were widely mailed in the early 1900s, when printers turned out large runs of bright, sentimental cards for spring greetings. Images of children in animal costumes were especially popular, since they combined the Easter Bunny with the idea of innocence and renewal. The egg baskets point to the custom of dyeing and hiding eggs, which had become a common part of family celebrations by that time.
