Few things say early American patriotism quite like an eagle with its wings spread and its beak open in a shout. This postcard, titled "Let the Eagle Scream," pairs that bird with a Fourth of July burst of fireworks, a combination that was popular on holiday cards of the early twentieth century. Picture postcards like this one were mass-produced and mailed in large numbers, so they offer a window into how ordinary people expressed national pride. The phrase in the title comes from the Revolutionary-era tradition of the eagle as a symbol of the young nation, and the fireworks recall the celebrations that marked Independence Day from the 1780s onward.
