Patriotic Girl As Lady Liberty With US Flag 4th Of July Hodson Real Photo Postcard

The figure of Liberty is an enduring national personification of the United States, often depicted as a classically robed woman bearing symbols like a torch, Phrygian cap, or laurel wreath. This postcard features a young girl embodying Liberty, distinguished by a crown bearing the letters BERT (likely an abbreviation for Liberty) and draped in the American flag. Such allegorical representations were popular in American culture, particularly from the late 19th through the early 20th century, used to symbolize national ideals, freedom, and democratic values.
