Lead with the rabbit: this Easter greetings postcard shows a rabbit set against a large red egg, a pairing that reflects how the holiday's imagery was built up in the early twentieth century. Holiday postcards like this one were produced in great numbers, often by printers using color lithography, and they were mailed to friends and family as a cheap way to send seasonal wishes. Rabbits and painted eggs came to stand for spring and new life, and the red egg here is a typical motif of the period. Look at the bold colors and simple layout, which were designed to catch the eye in a crowded rack of cards.
