A patriotic card titled "Birthplace of Old Glory" ties the flag to a specific claim about where the stars and stripes were first made, and the phrase is one that towns and historians have used to lay claim to that origin. The nickname "Old Glory" is usually traced to William Driver, a Salem, Massachusetts, sea captain who named his flag that way in the 1830s. Cards like this one, decorated with flags and bunting, were common in the early 1900s, when mass-produced greetings celebrated national symbols and local pride. Look at the flag designs and lettering to see how the artist combined civic sentiment with decorative printing.
