A boy in a ruffled suit holds a handful of firecrackers while a painted figure of Liberty looms behind him, and the title's exclamation, "Hurrah!", sets the mood of a child caught up in Independence Day noise. Images like this one drew on a long American habit of marking July 4 with fireworks, parades, and bunting. Patriotic scenes of children and Liberty were popular in the late 1800s and early 1900s, when printed cards and illustrations taught young viewers to link national pride with playful celebration. The contrast between a small, eager boy and the grand symbol behind him is part of what makes the picture worth a closer look.
