Vintage Easter Greeting Card with Rabbits in Giant Egg, 1900s

These two brown rabbits appear to have orchestrated an elaborate escape from inside a massive blue-and-gold decorative egg — ostensibly for an Easter-themed debutante ball, though their wide, intensely staring eyes and weirdly expressive faces suggest they've witnessed something deeply disturbing in that shell. One of them even accessorized with a red fringed garment, which raises more questions than it answers. The cracked shell, rickety wooden fence, and cheerful wildflowers all promise 'pastoral countryside idyll,' yet the rabbits themselves radiate the unmistakable energy of two creatures who have just escaped something terrible and are already planning their next crime. 'Easter Greeting,' the gold text reads, blandly, as if any of this is fine.
