Titled simply "Thanksgiving," this picture takes the holiday itself as its subject rather than a particular place or person. The national observance dates to 1863, when Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a day of thanks in the middle of the Civil War, and it was later fixed on the fourth Thursday of November. Images from this period often show the table, the harvest, and family gatherings as symbols of a shared national custom. Looking closely at the setting and the people shows how the holiday's meaning was pictured across the decades.
