A turkey takes center stage on this Thanksgiving postcard, its tail fanned out and the words "A Happy Thanksgiving" printed across the card in bold lettering. Holiday postcards like this one were a staple of the early twentieth century, when color lithography made cheap, cheerful greeting cards widely available and Americans mailed them to family and friends to mark the harvest holiday. The turkey, long a symbol of the autumn feast, appears again and again in these cards, so the playful bird here is a good window into how the holiday was pictured and celebrated at the time.
