A turkey standing beside a pie is the whole subject of this card, and that pairing is what marks it as a holiday greeting rather than a scene of farm life. Postcards like this rose in popularity in the early twentieth century, when color lithography was cheap enough that printers could mass-produce cheerful seasonal images for mailing. Holiday cards of the era often used bold outlines, warm autumn colors, and sentimental wording to convey goodwill between relatives and friends who lived far apart. Worth noticing is how the turkey is drawn as a proud, almost human figure, a stylistic habit that tells you as much about the sentiment of the time as about the bird itself.
