A joyful Easter
This German printed postcard wishes "A Joyful Easter" as a young boy dressed in a sailor's uniform sits on a wooden cage holding a baby chick. Brightly colored eggs and chickens are visible in the foreground. Eggs and egg coloring have been a long standing easter tradition, since eggs were seen as a symbol of new life and rebirth. However, Bunnies have only been associated with Easter since around the 17th century.
