Postcard 1909 Embossed Easter Greetings Bunny Guitar Albany NY Mailed Antique

Albany, New York, USA1909Pre-linenGood

A dapper brown rabbit serenades the season with a mandolin-guitar, perched among embossed pansies, lily-of-the-valley, and hanging Easter eggs in red and green — this richly chromolithographed and embossed Easter greeting card is a gem of Edwardian holiday printing, made in Austria and postmarked Albany, New York, April 1909. The lucky recipient was Maggie in Clarksville, New York, who learned from the sender — signing only as "Jack" — that the Sunday drive went beautifully, the wind didn't blow, and all was well. The 1¢ Benjamin Franklin green stamp (Scott #300 series) completes this crisp time capsule of Edwardian American postal culture at its most charming.
