Patriotic holidays were a favorite subject for postcard makers and illustrators, and this picture shows a girl with firecrackers and a row of toy soldiers under the title "Here's for a Glorious Fourth." The Fourth of July was the main occasion for fireworks and noisy celebrations in the United States, and the caption's cheerful toast fits the sentimental, lighthearted style of early twentieth-century holiday imagery. Pairing a child with firecrackers and toy soldiers turns the nation's birthday into a playful scene, and it shows how Independence Day was taught to children through games and play.
