This assortment of everyday snapshots, recently featured by the Humble Arts Foundation, comes from the collection of Robert E. Jackson, who has been collecting photographic ephemera for over two decades.
Assembled around the theme of patriotism, this group of photos explores the ways that Americans throughout the 20th century honored and celebrated their country, from military service to fireworks to unique and bizarre displays.
