Two children stand in a studio-style pose, one beating a drum and the other raising a small trumpet, with a flag tucked into the scene as a visual cue for the holiday. Cards like this were mass-produced in the early twentieth century, when color lithography made inexpensive holiday postcards popular and families mailed them to mark national days. Sentimental images of children in patriotic dress were a common theme, and the cards offer a window into how the nation's celebrations were packaged for ordinary households.
