The picture is titled simply "Thanksgiving," and it sits among other holiday images in a collection of pictorial America, so its subject is the national harvest holiday rather than a specific event. Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national day of thanksgiving in 1863, and the date was later fixed on the fourth Thursday of November by law in 1941. Images from this period often drew on family gatherings, bountiful tables, and the harvest, which made the holiday a favorite subject for illustrators and photographers. Looking closely at the setting and the people shows how Americans chose to picture a day of gratitude.
