A rabbit dressed in an apron and carrying a basket of painted eggs makes a playful stand-in for the Easter bunny, a figure whose folklore spread through German-speaking Europe and came to America with immigrant families in the 1700s and 1800s. Decorated eggs were a long-standing spring custom, and the idea of a hare or rabbit leaving them grew into a children's tradition that was shaped in part by illustrated cards, postcards and print advertising. Images like this one show how the holiday moved from a religious observance toward the cheerful, child-centered celebration many people know today.
