Thanksgiving pictures often capture the table itself, with the feast, the gathered family, and the rituals that give the holiday its shape. The American holiday traces to a national day of thanks that Abraham Lincoln proclaimed in 1863, and it was fixed to the fourth Thursday of November by law in 1941. Photographers began recording these gatherings in the late 19th century, when cheaper cameras let ordinary families document holiday meals, parades and home celebrations. Viewed today, such images show how domestic customs, dress and food have shifted over the decades while the holiday's emphasis on family has held steady.
