EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative postcard, dating back to 1917, captures the spirit of patriotism and unwavering support for the United States during the tumultuous period of World War I. The image portrays a figure, dressed in the fashion of the 1910s, holding the Stars and Stripes flag aloft against a backdrop of a map of the United States. The flag, with its thirteen original stripes and forty-six stars, symbolizes the unity and resilience of the American people during a time of great upheaval. The First World War, also known as the Great War, marked a significant turning point in world history. It brought about the end of empires, the rise of new nations, and the beginning of a new era. The United States entered the war in 1917, following a period of neutrality. The nation's involvement was met with a wave of patriotism, as seen in this postcard. The flagpole in the background further emphasizes the importance of the flag as a symbol of national pride and unity. The Stars and Stripes flag, with its red, white, and blue colors, has long been a powerful symbol of the United States, representing freedom, justice, and democracy. This postcard serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the American people during the First World War and the enduring spirit of patriotism that continues to define the United States today.
