This magnificent early 20th-century postcard, copyrighted 1908 by Julius Bien & Co. N.Y., captures a powerful patriotic sentiment. It features a young boy, possibly a cadet or sailor, proudly holding a large American flag that drapes around him, accompanied by a ceremonial sword. The intricate embossing gives the flag and the boy a tactile, three-dimensional quality, enhancing the visual appeal of this Americana collectible. A faint cityscape forms the backdrop, hinting at a bustling port or urban setting.The reverse side reveals a vibrant piece of history, postmarked from Chicago, Illinois, on March 2, 1911, and bears a one-cent George Washington U.S. postage stamp. It was addressed to Mrs. Helen Bigwood in Cochituate, Massachusetts, with a personal message, "From Martha." The postcard's series number 7150, part of the "FLAG" series, and the distinct Julius Bien & Co. publisher's logo are clearly visible, marking it as a product of a well-known early 20th-century postcard manufacturer. This piece is a wonderful addition for collectors of patriotic memorabilia, American history, or vintage ephemera.
