Children set off oversized firecrackers in this Fourth of July postcard, a detail that marks it as a product of the early twentieth century, when holiday postcards were mass-produced and sold in great numbers. Cards like this one often played on the noise and danger of fireworks, which were then sold freely and caused many injuries, leading to local bans in the following decades. The exaggerated scale of the firecrackers and the cheerful, unconcerned faces of the young subjects reflect the playful, sentimental style that made such cards popular as keepsakes and greetings.
