Turkeys and ears of corn fill this embossed Thanksgiving postcard, a design type that was especially popular in the early 1900s. Embossing gave the printed surface a raised, textured feel, so the bird's feathers and the husks of the corn stand out from the page. Holiday postcards like this one were mailed in large numbers around the turn of the twentieth century, when the picture postcard was a cheap and fashionable way to send seasonal greetings. The cornucopia-and-harvest imagery reflects the autumn harvest themes that became central to how Americans pictured Thanksgiving.
