The wagon is loaded, the cannon is primed, and the children look entirely too pleased about it. This 1908 P. Sander chromolithograph — one of the most kinetic Fourth of July postcards ever printed — puts the whole holiday into motion. Kids hauling artillery through the neighborhood, firecrackers flying, flags streaming. The Faded Label Co. put it on a garment-dyed unisex tank.
Printed on a Comfort Colors 9360 garment-dyed unisex tank — lightweight, relaxed fit, soft vintage wash finish. 100% ring-spun cotton. DTG printed. Machine wash cold, tumble dry low. Available in multiple colors — sizes XS through 3XL.
P. Sander of New York produced some of the most technically accomplished Fourth of July postcards in the early 1900s market. The 1908 cannon wagon card is a masterclass in chromolithographic movement — the diagonal composition, the scatter of firecrackers, the barely-contained energy of children who have clearly been given too much access to pyrotechnics. These cards were printed by the millions and mailed across the country every summer. This one earned its postage.
The perfect gift for vintage Americana collectors, Fourth of July enthusiasts, lovers of early 20th century illustration and postcard art, fans of P. Sander chromolithography, and anyone who thinks the holiday peaked when kids could haul cannons down the street.
