A boy in a football helmet and a turkey share the frame in this Thanksgiving postcard, a pairing that shows how the holiday was often marketed to children in the early twentieth century. Holiday postcards of this kind were mass-produced and mailed between family members, often with a short handwritten note on the back. The football motif reflects how closely the national holiday had become tied to college and high school games by that time, while the turkey points to the meal at the center of the day. Look at the bright color and exaggerated, cheerful figures, which were typical of the printing methods used for these cards.
