This greeting postcard depicts a whimsical Easter-themed scene featuring anthropomorphic animals: a white rabbit dressed in a blue collar acting as a coachman for a blue vintage-style carriage, in which a large chick is seated in the back, while two chicks, outfitted with harnesses, pull the carriage. Above the rabbit, the words "A Joyful Easter" are written against a clear sky, implying a celebratory holiday theme.
The reverse of this postcard features an elegant embossed design in the background. It is addressed to "Master Geo Hawkins, Chester, Orange Co., N.Y." and was sent from New York on March 25, 1909, at 2 PM. The postcard contains a one-cent stamp and a postmark indicating the date and time of mailing. There is a handwritten name "Allie" on the left side, indicating either the sender.Subject Person/Organization
