A turkey and a bald eagle share the frame on this Thanksgiving postcard, a pairing that signals the holiday's patriotic side as much as its harvest roots. The turkey was long championed by Benjamin Franklin as a worthy national symbol, while the eagle became the official emblem of the United States in 1782. Holiday postcards of the early twentieth century often mixed such symbols, blending the domestic feast with national pride. Look closely at the bird figures and their decorative borders, which reflect the illustrated greeting-card style popular at the time.
