Little is recorded about the maker or date of this Thanksgiving scene, so its details are best read directly from the image. The holiday it shows took its national form in 1863, when Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a single day of thanksgiving for the whole Union, a step that followed years of lobbying by writer Sarah Josepha Hale. In the decades after, illustrators and photographers helped fix images of family tables, harvest abundance and gratitude in the public mind.
