Few holiday postcards carry the plainness of this one: a single ear of corn drawn large across the card, with the greeting "Good Wishes for Thanksgiving Day" set above it. Thanksgiving postcards like this were popular in the early twentieth century, when the mass-produced picture postcard was at its height and families mailed holiday cards to relatives and friends across the country. Corn appears often in these designs because it stood for the autumn harvest and the abundance that the holiday was meant to celebrate. Look at how the artist uses the husk and kernels as a bold, decorative shape, a style common to seasonal cards of the period.
