Titled simply "Patriotic," this work sits in a gallery grouping of images made for national holidays and civic celebrations. Pictures of this kind became common in the late 1800s and early 1900s, when flags, eagles, and portraits of national heroes turned up on postcards, posters, and parade programs, often to promote unity or pride. The record does not name a maker or date, so its exact origin is uncertain, but it belongs to that long tradition of visual patriotism.
