A decorative Fourth of July card, with a large gold "4" as its centerpiece and swords and ribbons arranged around it, shows how patriotic greeting cards were designed around the Independence Day holiday. Cards like this were typically printed in quantity and sent or exchanged during the holiday, when Americans marked the anniversary of 1776 with parades, speeches, and fireworks. The swords suggest the military heritage of the Revolution, while the ribbons and the gilded numeral give the piece the ornamental look popular in greeting-card design of the period. Such cards offer a glimpse of how the holiday was celebrated in everyday life, not just in public ceremony.
