Rabbits, a gnome, and a basket of painted eggs make up this Easter greeting postcard, a form that was hugely popular in the early 1900s, when illustrated cards were a common way to send seasonal wishes by mail. Postcards of this era often blended the holiday's traditional symbols with whimsical fantasy figures like the gnome, which reflected a taste for storybook imagery in popular illustration. Notice how the eggs and rabbits, both long-standing emblems of spring and new life, were rendered in bright, cheerful colors meant to brighten a recipient's day.
