Anthropomorphic rabbits were a favorite motif on Easter postcards in the early twentieth century, and this card pairs them with swallows and violets, flowers and birds that signaled spring. The dancing pose gives the scene a festive, almost theatrical energy, a playful contrast to the more solemn religious imagery of the holiday. Cards like this were mailed as holiday greetings, and their bright color lithography and whimsical figures reflect the mass-produced illustration of the period, when postcards had become a popular and inexpensive way to send good wishes.
