Thanksgiving is the subject of this picture, and the record gives no further detail about the scene, its maker, or its date. The modern national holiday traces back to 1863, when Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a day of thanksgiving for the nation, and federal law fixed it as the fourth Thursday of November in 1941. Holiday pictures of this kind often show family dinners, tables laden with turkey and pie, and gatherings meant to stress home and gratitude, which makes them useful for seeing how Americans imagined the day.
