Vintage 4th of July Postcard Art

Before anyone had a smartphone to film the fireworks, they sent a postcard.

This collection draws from the golden age of American holiday chromolithography — the early 1900s, when postcard publishers commissioned illustrators to produce cards that were genuinely extraordinary. Uncle Sam at a cannon. Columbia lighting the holiday into existence. Children riding rockets. Bald eagles delivering firecrackers. These images were printed by the millions, mailed across the country every summer, and designed to stop people in their tracks.

Every design in this collection is sourced from authentic period artwork — public domain treasures from America's commercial art heritage, printed on products built to last. Women's racerback tanks, unisex tanks, and t-shirts featuring some of the most vivid Fourth of July postcard art ever produced.

The Faded Label Co. — keeping the golden age of American art alive, one product at a time.
