Dressed as Uncle Sam and Columbia, two children stand ready to carry a patriotic message in this postcard, which leans on the costumed figures that were a staple of American holiday imagery in the early twentieth century. Uncle Sam, with his goatee and star-spangled top hat, personified the national government, while Columbia, draped in a flag-patterned gown, stood for the nation itself. Cards like this were mailed around national holidays such as the Fourth of July, and their bright colors and playful staging helped turn civic pride into something children could enjoy. Look closely at the costumes and props, which show how these symbols were passed down through the generations.
