Two young children stand side by side, each clutching a small American flag, while gold stars float in the printed border around them. Cards like this were popular in the early twentieth century, when postcard publishers produced large runs of sentimental images for holidays and national occasions. Such cards were mailed to family and friends as greetings, so they often show the everyday language of patriotism at the time: children as symbols of the nation's future, and stars and flags as shorthand for unity and pride. Notice how the bright colors and decorative framing were meant to be eye-catching in the days before color photography was common in print.
