Printed as a keepsake for George Washington's birthday, this postcard uses a title that frames the day as a time of remembrance as well as celebration. Washington was born on February 22, 1732, and Americans began marking his birthday within a few decades of his death in 1799. Postcards with patriotic themes were especially popular in the early twentieth century, when millions were mailed each year and people could send holiday greetings across the country in a few cents' worth of postage. Cards like this one show how the nation chose to picture its first president, as a symbol of unity and national identity.
