EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative postcard, dating back to circa 1917, captures the spirit of determination and patriotism that swept through the United States as it entered the First World War. The image of a gallant doughboy, or American soldier, scaling the peak of freedom, is a powerful symbol of the country's commitment to the cause of liberty and democracy. With grit and resolve, he unfurls the Stars and Stripes at the summit, the flag's star-spangled banner billowing in the wind. The angelic figure hovering above, her wings outstretched, adds an ethereal quality to the scene, suggesting the divine blessings bestowed upon the American troops as they embarked on their mission. The use of patriotic symbols and the mountainous backdrop create a sense of heroic struggle and triumph, reflecting the collective resolve of the American people to defend their values and protect the world from tyranny. This poignant postcard serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women of the United States during World War I, and the enduring power of patriotism to inspire and unite.
