A greeting card showing a pilgrim woman standing beside a turkey places this picture in the long American habit of turning the Pilgrims into a holiday symbol rather than a documented event. Thanksgiving cards like this one became common in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when printers and illustrators drew on the Plymouth colony story to give the national harvest holiday a warm, domestic face. The bonneted figure and the bird pair the 1621 harvest feast with modern ideas of family dinner, so the card is as much a record of how Americans wanted to remember their origins as of the colonists themselves.
