Football and the Thanksgiving calendar were closely tied in the late 19th century, when the Yale–Harvard game drew crowds and newspapers covered it like a national event. This Harper's poster, published in November, shows football players in the rough, crowded style of the era, reflecting how the sport was still taking shape and how much attention the college rivalry commanded. Illustrations like this one in Harper's Weekly helped define the look of American sporting life for readers who could not attend the games themselves.
