Little is recorded about this picture beyond its title, so it is best read as part of a wider picture of the holiday as Americans celebrated it. Thanksgiving became a national observance in 1863, when President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a day of thanks in the midst of the Civil War. Pictures of the holiday from the late 19th and early 20th centuries often showed family dinners, tables laden with roast turkey and pies, and gatherings that brought relatives together. Images like this one reflect how a day of gratitude came to center on home, food and family.
