This picture is a greeting card, and its printed line, "My Greetings to You on Washington's Birthday," invites the recipient to share in a holiday that Americans had marked since the years after George Washington's death in 1799. Cards like this were popular in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when mass-produced lithographs made it cheap to send a patriotic sentiment by mail. Cards of this type often paired a national symbol, a portrait of Washington, or a flag with a short verse, so they served as both a keepsake and a small statement of civic pride. Worth noticing is how the card turns a public holiday into a personal message between two people.
