Lead with the child, pumpkins and wheat sheaves that set this card apart from the other Thanksgiving pictures on the board. Postcards like this one were produced in large numbers in the early twentieth century, when the holiday was becoming a fixed national date and printers turned out seasonal greetings for families to mail to relatives. Motifs of harvest bounty, such as gourds, grain and children in autumn clothing, were a common way to express gratitude for a good year. Notice how the colors and decorative border were applied by hand-run printing processes of the era.
