Among the scenes gathered under the Thanksgiving heading, this one brings together the holiday's familiar themes of harvest, family, and gratitude. Thanksgiving became a national observance in 1863, when Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a day of thanksgiving in the middle of the Civil War. In the decades that followed, illustrators and photographers helped fix its imagery of laden tables and gathered households in the public mind. Images of this kind were widely reproduced in magazines and on greeting cards, so they reveal as much about how Americans wanted to picture their shared traditions as about the day itself.
