Few postcards of this kind speak as directly to the viewer as this one, with its young figure and the printed call to "Three Cheers for George Washington." Cards like it were sent around Washington's Birthday, and they often paired a sentimental child with flags and patriotic lettering to cast the first president as a symbol of national unity. Their bright colors and sentimental style reflect the mass-produced holiday postcards that were popular in the United States in the early twentieth century. Look closely at the flags and the arrangement of the design, which show how the holiday was marketed to ordinary households.
