A white rabbit with tall ears stands behind a large red egg decorated with yellow flowers, set against a dark green ground. The printed greeting reads 'A Happy Easter.' The card was sent from Galena, Illinois, to Clara in Hamburg, Iowa, as a family Easter greeting from Grandma Asmus.
Easter postcards pairing rabbits with decorated eggs were common in the early 20th century, when the holiday had become a popular occasion for sending illustrated greetings.
