The title, "Three Cheers for George Washington," points to a holiday greeting rather than a portrait of the first president, and the children and flag place it firmly in the patriotic tradition of the early twentieth century. Postcards like this were widely mailed around Washington's Birthday, which Americans observed on February 22 long before it became the Monday holiday now called Presidents' Day. Cards of this era often combined sentimental images of children with national symbols, reflecting how schools and families used patriotic themes to teach civic pride. Look closely at the flag and the children's dress for clues about the decade the card was made.
