Lead with what sets this card apart: a rabbit set among eggs and roses rather than the usual chicks or lilies. Easter greeting cards became popular in the United States and Britain in the late 19th century, when the printing industry could turn out inexpensive chromolithographs in bright colors. Rabbits as Easter symbols came to these countries from German tradition, where the "Osterhase" was said to leave colored eggs for well-behaved children. Pairing the hare with eggs and roses combined the holiday's themes of new life and spring renewal with the sentimental floral language popular at the time.
