Here the ribbons do the talking: a greeting card for the Fourth of July with red, white and blue streamers and the simple wish printed across the front. Holiday cards like this became popular in the United States in the late 1800s and early 1900s, when mass-produced printing made colorful seasonal greetings cheap enough to mail to friends and family. Patriotic designs often leaned on flags, eagles and bunting, and the Fourth was one of the most common occasions for them. Notice how the layered ribbons and bright color were meant to make a modest piece of paper feel festive.
