Few details are given beyond the title, so this card is best read through its motifs: a rabbit, a cluster of violets and a painted egg, the three symbols that became fixtures of Easter greetings in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Printed cards of this kind were often lithographed in bright color and sold in stationery shops and by mail for the spring holiday. Violets were a popular flower on such cards, standing for modesty and the return of spring after winter. The rabbit and egg both stand for fertility and new life, which is why these images appear so often on Easter ephemera from that era.
