About this postcard
A chromolithographed Easter greeting shows a brown rabbit dressed in a red coat, white waistcoat and striped top hat, holding a spray of blue forget-me-nots and drawing a small cart in which two yellow chicks ride. The cart's wheels are formed of blue blossoms and the scene is framed by an arch of blue flowers, white snowdrops, pink blossoms and clover above a strip of grassy ground. Such anthropomorphic rabbit cards were a staple of the German-printed Easter postcard trade in the early 20th century, when the Easter bunny was still often depicted as a dapper gentleman caller rather than the chocolate-bearing figure of later decades.
