A chef stands at the center of this Thanksgiving greeting card, flanked by a pair of plump turkeys, a pairing that makes the holiday's food the whole joke and the whole point. Cards like this one were a staple of the early twentieth century, when printers turned out cheap illustrated holiday greetings by the thousands for mailing to family and friends. Their bright color lithography and sentimental humor reflect a period when the November feast was becoming a standardized national custom. Looking closely, the chef's tall hat and the turkeys' exaggerated proportions show how illustrators leaned on familiar stock characters to make their message instantly readable.
