A turkey with its tail fanned wide stands in a farmyard, and the blank label panel along the edge gives no maker or date, so the picture has to be read through its subject. Images like this were common in the late 1800s and early 1900s, when printers and greeting-card houses turned the bird into a seasonal emblem for the harvest holiday. The strutting pose, with the tail raised like a display, was a favorite of illustrators because it suggested abundance and pride. Its place under Recipes and Foods reflects how closely the turkey became tied to the holiday table.
