Uncle Sam And Lady Columbia Patriotic July 4th Parade Float 1900-1910 Real Photo Postcard

Patriotic parades, featuring elaborately decorated floats and costumed participants, were a cornerstone of American public life in the early 20th century. This postcard likely captures a celebration such as the Fourth of July, a local civic event, or a Memorial Day parade, given the prominence of American flags, bunting, and figures reminiscent of Uncle Sam and Columbia, popular national allegories of the era.
