About this postcard

A rabbit in a blue vest plays a drum while yellow chicks and ducklings dance on a path. Snowdrops bloom at left, and a small village church sits behind a fence. The scene is typical of early 20th-century Easter postcards, which often showed dressed rabbits and chicks with spring flowers. A grandmother sent the card to Charlotte S. Hassett in Amesbury, Massachusetts, with love.
