Patriotic greeting cards like this one, bearing the date July 4, 1776, were mostly produced in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when American holidays were becoming popular subjects for commercial postcards. The card's stars and striped flags were a deliberate nod to the national symbols adopted in the Revolutionary era, so the date works as a sentimental link to the Declaration of Independence rather than a record of anything that happened that day. Collectors often prize such cards for their bright chromolithographed colors and for the way they show how Americans marked Independence Day as a family and civic occasion.
