A rabbit dressed in a frock and bonnet, holding an egg and surrounded by forget-me-nots, gives this card its particular charm, and the caption "Bright be your Easter" makes its purpose plain: it was meant as a greeting. Anthropomorphized animals in clothing were a popular motif in Victorian and Edwardian greeting cards, when printers turned out sentimental Easter designs for children and sweethearts alike. The rabbit, long linked with spring and fertility, had by then become the familiar Easter symbol, and the small blue flowers signal remembrance and affection. Such cards were often exchanged by hand, so their charm lies in both the illustration and the message written by the sender.
