Rather than a single scene, this picture groups oval portraits of early American presidents, each paired with a state seal, into one decorative arrangement. The oval frame and seal motifs were popular in 19th-century patriotic prints, when the presidency was often presented as a line of founders to be honored. The Thanksgiving theme fits the subject: George Washington issued the first national Thanksgiving proclamation in 1789, and later presidents continued the practice of calling for a national day of thanks. The seals are worth a closer look, since they point to both the states and the national government.
