Turkeys dressed up as singers, complete with a musical staff across the card, make this postcard stand out from the usual harvest scenes of cornucopias and pumpkins. Holiday postcards like this were produced in large numbers in the early 1900s, when the picture postcard was the cheapest way to send a seasonal wish by mail. The joke turns the bird that anchors the American Thanksgiving table into a performer, a playful choice that reflects how the holiday was being marketed as a cheerful, family-centered occasion. Notice the lettering and the staff lines, which show how illustrators of the period mixed comic animal imagery with sentimental greetings.
