Children holding roses beside a waving American flag give this card its sentiment, a pairing that was common in patriotic postcards and greeting cards of the early twentieth century. Cards like this were often sent around national holidays such as Independence Day or Memorial Day, when flags and flowers were everywhere in public life. The mix of innocence and national symbolism reflects how illustrators used children to stand for the country's future and its hopes. Look closely at the lettering and color printing, which show the techniques of mass-produced ephemera of the period.
