A Thanksgiving Wish postcard, with its cluster of plump turkeys in the foreground and a snow-dusted farmhouse behind them, belongs to the early twentieth-century holiday postcard trade, when printers turned out bright, sentimental cards for Thanksgiving much as they did for Christmas and Easter. Cards of this kind were often mailed between relatives and friends, and their pairing of harvest imagery with a rural winter scene reflected the view of Thanksgiving as a домашний family gathering after the crops were in. Its placement under religious occasions on this board hints at the holiday's roots in gratitude and days of thanksgiving, though the card itself is more secular in spirit, offering a cheerful wish rather than a sermon.
