Celebrate America’s Independence Day in vintage style with this early 1900s embossed “4th of July Greetings” postcard, beautifully printed in Germany’s Saxony region—a hallmark of high-quality early postcard production.
The richly embossed front features two children surrounded by fireworks, firecrackers, and patriotic flags, with the Liberty Bell ringing proudly above them and a banner reading “July 4th.” The artistry and detail—especially the metallic and textured finish—capture the excitement and innocence of early 20th-century holiday celebrations.
Printed around 1908–1912, this postcard represents the “Golden Age of Postcards,” when American publishers frequently commissioned German printers known for their fine embossing, saturated inks, and layered lithographic color work.
