Two rabbits stand side by side in this picture, one holding an egg and the other with a spray of flowers, a pairing that makes the Easter theme plain at a glance. Rabbits and eggs became linked with spring and new life in German-speaking lands, and the Easter Hare was carried to America by German immigrants in the 1700s, where children came to expect it to leave colored eggs in nests or baskets. Greeting cards like this one were popular in the late 1800s and early 1900s, when printers produced cheap chromolithographs and postcards for holiday exchange. Notice how the animals are dressed and posed as people, a common convention of the period.
