EDITORS COMMENTS
A Rather Stern-Looking Easter Bunny Heads Out (Again!) Delivering Cards & Eggs - 1908 Amidst the joy and excitement of Easter celebrations, this anthropomorphic bunny dons a stern expression as he sets out on his annual delivery journey. Dressed in a simple brown coat and carrying a large wicker basket slung over his hind legs, the bunny clutches a long stick or cane in one paw, adding to his serious demeanor. The image, captured in 1908, showcases the Easter Bunny as a determined and no-nonsense figure, delivering Easter cards and eggs to eager children. Anthropomorphism, the attribution of human characteristics to non-human entities, has long been a part of various cultural customs and traditions. The Easter Bunny, an enduring symbol of the season, is no exception. Originating from European folklore, the Easter Bunny is believed to bring eggs and treats to children on Easter morning. Over time, this mythical figure evolved into an anthropomorphic rabbit, complete with a basket and the ability to lay colored eggs. This photograph, taken over a century ago, offers a unique glimpse into the history of the Easter Bunny and the customs associated with this seasonal celebration. The stern-looking bunny, with his serious expression and delivery tools, adds an intriguing layer to the story of this beloved character. As we continue to celebrate Easter with the help of the Easter Bunny, let us remember the rich history and traditions that have shaped this joyous holiday.
