A holiday postcard with a woman, a turkey and a pumpkin puts the harvest feast front and center, a theme that became a staple of American greeting cards in the early twentieth century. Postcards like this were mass-produced and mailed in large numbers, especially around the holidays, so they reveal how Thanksgiving was pictured for ordinary people: as a celebration of plenty, home and family. The bountiful pumpkin and the plump bird signal abundance, while the figure of the woman reflects the era's expectation that the home and its table were a woman's domain. Such cards offer a glimpse of popular sentiment as much as of the holiday itself.
