It is so detailed and full of little surprises, and really has that "Main Street" American feel to it. You really have to check out the complete listing to fully appreciate this card!

Patriotism doesn't get much more Victorian than this! Wall hanging by ElmbrookFolkArt features a Victorian lady ringing the Liberty bell, and enthusiastic eagle, and exploding fireworks. Perfect for the Fourth of July or any time of year to show off your patriotism.

This wood block puzzle by Arbutushunter is a bargain because you get a total of SIX awesome Victorian style patriotic images to enjoy. And if there is one thing that these images make clear, it's that Victorians loved them some explosive fireworks to celebrate the Fourth. Not so different from today!
