Wish You Were Here, from Gene Carr
Gene Carr did a whole series of postcards featuring street urchins playing with firecrackers, the cards being intended for use around Independence Day. The cards were issued by the Rotograph Co. (this one bearing the inscrutable designation "F.L. 219/1"). Although copyrighted 1906, the cards were evidently issued in 1907, as they have divided backs.

Carr also did some St. Patrick's and Easter sets for Bergman in NY. One of the Easter ones has his Lady Bountiful character
