Thanksgiving appears here as a book cover rather than a scene from the holiday table, so the picture is about how the day was packaged for readers. Holiday cover art of this kind usually drew on the familiar imagery of the harvest feast: a laden table, autumn produce, and the idea of gathering family together. Covers like this one were part of a wider late nineteenth and early twentieth century habit of using seasonal illustration to sell books and magazines, and it is worth looking at how the artist turned a national holiday into a decorative emblem.
