A plump roast turkey sits at the center of this Thanksgiving postcard, flanked by a pie and a dish of cranberries, a trio of foods that by the early twentieth century had become the shorthand for the holiday meal. Holiday postcards like this one were a popular way to send seasonal wishes, and the printed greeting let a sender reach family or friends across the country with a cheerful image of abundance. Many such cards were mass-produced with bright color lithography, so their charm lies partly in the saturated palette and the idealized, almost still-life arrangement of the food.
