Two girls in white dresses stand side by side, each holding a small flag and a bundle of flowers, with a verse printed beneath them in the card's lettering. Cards like this were popular in Britain in the late 1800s, when illustrated postcards and sentimental verse were mass-produced and sent between friends and family for birthdays, holidays and national celebrations. Patriotic imagery of this kind, with flags and garlands, reflects the pride many people felt in the empire and the monarchy during the Victorian era. Its printed verse, rather than a handwritten message, is a good clue to how such cards were designed to be bought and sent in quantity.
