Rather than naming a holiday, this color silkscreen is titled simply "November," and it is grouped here under Thanksgiving because the month leads into the American harvest holiday. It was produced around 1938 by Ben Kaplan under the Federal Art Project's Poster Division in New York, part of the Works Progress Administration, which employed artists during the Depression to design posters for public information and community events. Silkscreen was a relatively new printmaking method for posters at the time, and its flat, bold color areas made images easy to read from a distance.
