Two children in period clothing stand beneath a Liberty Bell, with flags and patriotic bunting framing the scene, making this card a typical example of how Fourth of July greetings were printed around the turn of the twentieth century. The Liberty Bell, hung in Philadelphia's State House (now Independence Hall), had by then become one of the most recognizable symbols of American independence, and cards like this one carried that image into ordinary households. Such cards were mass-produced, often in color lithography, and were sent through the mail to family and friends during the holiday, so they offer a glimpse of how patriotism was expressed in everyday, personal ways.
