A child wrapped in a flag is the detail that sets this postcard apart from the many patriotic cards of its kind. Cards like this were printed in large numbers in the early 1900s, when Fourth of July greetings were a popular way to send good wishes through the mail. The "1776" in the title points to the Declaration of Independence and the nation's founding, and the sentimental pairing of a young child with the flag was a common device for suggesting that the country's future rested with its children. Worth noticing is how the imagery mixes civic pride with domestic affection, turning a national holiday into a familiar, personal scene.
