A pennant banner stretches across the top of this Thanksgiving greeting card, with a farmhouse and a plump turkey set below it, a pairing that was common in holiday postcards of the early twentieth century. Cards like this were mass-produced with lithographed color and sent between relatives and friends, often with a short handwritten message on the reverse. The farmhouse stands for the rural harvest roots the holiday was tied to in the popular imagination, while the turkey became the signature emblem of the feast. Look closely at the bright, slightly oversized colors, which reflect the printing methods of the period.
