Fireworks, flags, and a row of children are the centerpiece of this patriotic postcard, which places the Fourth of July celebration squarely in the hands of the young. Holiday postcards like this one were produced in large numbers in the early twentieth century, when printed cards were a cheap, popular way to send greetings across the country. Images of children with flags and rockets reflected a growing emphasis on civic pride and on the Fourth as a family holiday. Such cards also tell us how Americans wanted to picture their nation: cheerful, unified, and looking toward the future.
