He is not standing still. This early 1900s chromolithograph catches Uncle Sam mid-celebration — dancing through a ring of exploding firecrackers, top hat askew, completely committed to the holiday. The energy coming off this postcard is the energy of a country that celebrated its birthday by lighting things on fire and dancing about it. The Faded Label Co. put it on a garment-dyed heavyweight tee.
Printed on a Comfort Colors 1717 garment-dyed heavyweight tee — 6.1oz, relaxed unisex fit, soft vintage wash finish. DTG printed. Machine wash cold, tumble dry low. Available in multiple colors — sizes S through 3XL.
American holiday chromolithography of the early 1900s competed on energy — the more movement, the more color, the more symbol-per-square-inch, the better the card sold. This Uncle Sam delivers on all counts. The fireworks bursting around him, the bold red-white-and-blue palette, the word HURRAH rendered with the full enthusiasm it deserves. These cards were printed by the millions and mailed across the country every summer.
The perfect gift for vintage Americana collectors, Fourth of July enthusiasts, lovers of early 20th century illustration and postcard art, and anyone whose idea of a proper Independence Day involves dancing Uncle Sams and live firecrackers.
