A boy in a letterman-style sweater mid-kick, with a plump turkey tucked into the scene, sets this postcard apart from the family-dinner views that usually fill Thanksgiving collections. Cards like this were printed in large numbers in the early 1900s, when holiday postcards were a popular way to send seasonal greetings, and the pairing of football and roast bird reflects a growing American habit of linking the holiday with sport and leisure. Its pop-culture mix of sports and harvest imagery shows how the holiday was being reimagined for a new generation of readers and senders.
