A Joyous Easter postcard shows a white rabbit surrounded by painted eggs, a pairing that became a staple of holiday greeting cards in the early 20th century. Easter postcards of this era were mass-produced by lithography, often in Germany and the United States, and were mailed to friends and family as seasonal good wishes. The rabbit and egg motif borrows from German folk traditions, where the Osterhase was said to bring decorated eggs to children, and it helped carry those customs into American homes. Notice the bright palette and decorative border, which were typical of the chromolithographed cards that collectors still prize today.
