A turkey does most of the work on this Thanksgiving postcard, but the ears of corn tucked alongside it are the detail worth a second look. Holiday postcards like this one were produced in large numbers in the early twentieth century, when a mailed card was a cheap, quick way to send seasonal wishes. Designs of this kind leaned on harvest symbols such as corn, squash and fruit to suggest abundance and gratitude, and the bold, cheerful lettering of the "Thanksgiving Joys" greeting was typical of the period. Cards like this one offer a glimpse of how the holiday was pictured and celebrated long before the modern turkey dinner photograph became common.
