Little is recorded about this piece beyond its title, *Patriotic*, but its place among the Star Spangled Images suggests that American national pride is its subject. Patriotic imagery of this kind was produced in large numbers from the late nineteenth century onward, when flags, eagles and national symbols appeared on postcards, sheet music, advertising and parade posters. Such pictures often rallied civic feeling during wartime and at public celebrations such as the Fourth of July. Looking closely at the symbols and composition reveals how Americans chose to picture their country.
