A turkey takes center stage on this Thanksgiving postcard, its tail fanned out in rich colors and framed by a decorative border that was typical of holiday cards of the period. Postcards like this one were a popular way to send seasonal greetings, and their bold illustrations and ornamental edges reflect the early twentieth-century taste for cheerful, mass-produced holiday art. The turkey itself, shown as a proud centerpiece rather than a dinner plate, speaks to how the harvest holiday had become a fixture of American home life by then.
