Thanksgiving greetings on a postcard usually leaned on the same cast of characters: a plump turkey, a pilgrim boy in a buckle hat, and a pumpkin set among autumn leaves. This card brings those familiar elements together in a single cheerful scene, which is typical of the holiday postcards printed in the United States in the early twentieth century. Cards like this were mailed between relatives and friends during the November holiday, and their bright color lithography and sentimental images helped turn Thanksgiving into a widely shared, domestic celebration. Looking closely, the pilgrim figure shows how the image of the Plymouth colonists was simplified into a friendly, child-sized symbol of the national holiday.
