Labor Day has its own patriotic iconography, and this souvenir postcard puts an eagle beside working men, a pairing that tells you how the holiday was meant to be seen. Labor Day became a federal holiday in 1894, first observed as a tribute to the American worker and framed by many as a counterpart to more martial national celebrations. Postcards like this one, printed in large numbers, carried those civic sentiments into ordinary households, so the bird and the laborers were meant to read together as a statement of national pride in work. The card is worth noticing for how it fuses the symbols of the nation with the labor movement's claim to a place in that national story.
