Dressed as Uncle Sam, a small boy in a tall striped hat and star-spangled outfit stands at the center of this Fourth of July postcard, its caption, "The day we celebrate!", printed in bold letters across the top. Holiday cards like this were produced in large numbers in the early twentieth century, when picture postcards were a cheap and popular way to send greetings. Costumed children were a favorite motif, since they turned the national figure of Uncle Sam into something affectionate and familiar. Cards of this kind show how Independence Day was marketed to families as a holiday for children as well as adults.
