A patriotic postcard from the early twentieth century, "United We Stand, A Glorious Fourth," shows children arranged around a large star and flag motif, a common visual shorthand for national unity at Independence Day celebrations. Picture postcards like this were mass-produced and mailed in large numbers, especially between about 1900 and the First World War, when color printing made them cheap and popular. Their sentimental imagery of children reflected a wider American habit of using young figures to stand for the nation's future. The slogan itself, borrowed from the older idea of a united country, is worth noticing alongside the wording of the Fourth of July greeting.
