Victorian Easter Greeting Card: Boy with Bunnies
Text on Card
Joyful Easter
Description
Soft sage greens and delicate purples wash over this charming Victorian Easter greeting, capturing the innocence and whimsy of the holiday through the figure of a boy dressed in period knickers, a sailor-style blue and white shirt, and a straw hat. He holds two brown rabbits — one raised to his face, one tucked under his arm — while a third rabbit stands upright at his feet. The composition features an elegant oval egg-shaped frame, adorned with delicate white floral garlands and purple flowers at the top corners, creating an ornate botanical border typical of late 19th-century greeting card design.
