1907 Rocket Girl Racerback Tank — Vintage 4th of July Postcard Art | The Faded Label Co.

Nobody told her the rocket was already lit. This 1907 chromolithograph — copyrighted by P. Sander of New York — shows a young girl seated on a giant firecracker, ribbons streaming, fireworks bursting behind her against a deep slate sky. It is one of the most exuberant pieces of American holiday postcard art ever printed. The Faded Label Co. put it on a racerback tank.

Printed on a premium Bella+Canvas Women’s Ideal Racerback Tank — lightweight slim fit, scoop neck, tear-away label. 60% combed ring-spun cotton, 40% polyester, 4 oz/yd². DTG printed. Machine wash cold, tumble dry low. Available in Midnight Navy, Red, Warm Gray, and White — sizes XS through 2XL.

The golden age of American holiday lithography ran roughly 1890 to 1915 — a period when postcard publishers like P. Sander competed fiercely on the quality of their chromolithographic printing. The detail in this piece is extraordinary: the embossed gold rope, the metallic sheen on the rocket body, the confetti scatter across the dark background. These cards were printed in Germany for the American market and mailed by the millions every summer.

The perfect gift for vintage Americana collectors, Fourth of July enthusiasts, lovers of early 20th century illustration art, women who appreciate genuine historical graphics, and anyone who thinks the holiday deserves more than a flag emoji.
