Turkey, cranberries and celery share the foreground of this Thanksgiving postcard, a pairing that tells you a good deal about the holiday's imagery in the early twentieth century. Holiday postcards of that era were mass-produced and sent between relatives, and their bright, stylized arrangements of harvest foods helped fix the table spread as a national symbol of the day. Cranberries and celery were staples of the New England-style feast that had become a common model across the country, so the card doubles as a snapshot of what American families were expected to put on the table. It is worth looking closely at the printing, since many of these cards were produced in color with embossed or gilded touches.
