Washington's Birthday, observed on February 22, was a fixture of American patriotic life long before it became the federal holiday now usually called Presidents' Day, and cards like this one were a popular way to mark it. Greeting cards of the period often paired sentimental verse with flags, eagles and portraits of the first president, reflecting a national habit of honoring Washington as the model of civic virtue. Postcards and holiday cards such as this were sent between friends and relatives, so the message was personal as well as political. The title's "My Patriotic Greetings" signals the card's purpose: a handwritten-style sentiment carried on an image of national pride.
