Vintage Victorian Easter Card: Dancing Rooster in Green Skirt

The cheerful 'A Happy Easter' greeting feels oddly at odds with the unhinged energy radiating from this anthropomorphic hen — dressed in a full green skirt, blue top, and clutching a dainty parasol aloft — who struts with the confidence of someone who absolutely did not ask for your opinion. Her bare scaly talons grip the ground with the energy of a Victorian woman who has just been told to calm down. In the background, some colored eggs and a fleeing white bunny serve as humbled supporting cast to this fashion icon whose presence reads less like a seasonal greeting and more like a threat.
