A young girl is shown with a plump turkey on a postcard that carries the printed greeting "Best Wishes for a Happy Thanksgiving." Holiday postcards like this one were produced in large numbers in the early twentieth century, when the picture postcard was the cheapest way to send a seasonal message across town or across the country. Thanksgiving cards of this period often paired children with harvest symbols such as turkeys, pumpkins and corn, reflecting the holiday's growing place in American family life. Cards of this kind are useful today for seeing how the holiday was marketed and how childhood was imagined in that era.
