A hunter in pilgrim-style dress, shown with a turkey and a musket, makes this picture a clear example of how Thanksgiving imagery took shape in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Artists and printmakers of that era often drew on the Plymouth colonists of 1621 as a symbol of American origins, dressing their figures in broad collars, buckled shoes and dark wide-brimmed hats whether or not historical accuracy was the goal. The turkey and the firearm point to the harvest and hunting that later writers linked to the first feast, though the account of 1621 itself is thin on details. Worth noticing is how the costume and props together turn an ordinary rural scene into a national story.
