Such a surprise when one opens the “lid” of this card, to reveal a rabbit inside. Perhaps the recipient had really hoped for a real live rabbit. This card from 1887 was published in Britain by well-known publisher Marcus Ward & Company, but was lovingly kept by a New Zealand collector. Other Marcus Ward cards can be seen here.
