Vintage Easter Greeting Card Children Wheelbarrow Flowers

One child in a wide-brimmed straw hat pushes a wooden wheelbarrow while a second child in a yellow dress — sporting what appears to be a bow the size of a small country — rides shotgun alongside a bouquet of flowers and a live white rabbit, because apparently child labor and exotic animal trafficking were considered festive in the Edwardian era. The rabbit, for its part, peers over the floral arrangement with the thousand-yard stare of a creature who has fully accepted its fate as seasonal décor. Set against a pastoral backdrop of rolling hills, a wooden fence, and a conveniently placed tree, this card radiates the specific energy of 'everything is fine' right before something deeply is not — and yet the cursive 'Happy Easter Greetings' at the bottom insists, with aggressive cheerfulness, that we all just go along with it.
