An embossed turkey takes center stage in this Thanksgiving postcard, its feathers fanned out in raised, gilded relief against a bright background. Embossed holiday cards became hugely popular in the United States and Europe in the early 1900s, when printers used heavy pressing dies to give designs a tactile, three-dimensional quality that could be felt as much as seen. Postcards like this one were sent through the mail as quick, inexpensive seasonal greetings, and many survive today with their colors and relief still intact. The bird itself, a symbol of the harvest feast, reflects how the holiday's imagery was shaped by a wave of mass-produced illustrated cards.
