A family gathered around a laden dinner table gives this cover its warm, domestic focus, the kind of holiday scene that Collier's, the general-interest weekly, returned to each November. Magazine covers like this one were designed to be seen from a newsstand, so the composition favors a clear central subject, bold color and an immediate sense of celebration. Illustrated Thanksgiving covers of this era helped set the national image of the holiday as a time for family reunion and a bountiful table. Look closely at the dishes and gestures, which reflect the domestic customs of the period.
