A woman in a long dress and apron carries a roast turkey on a platter, the centerpiece of a holiday card that was printed to be mailed. Thanksgiving postcards like this one became popular in the early 1900s, when the picture postcard craze made it cheap and easy to send a seasonal greeting. Cards of this kind usually pair a bountiful table scene with lettering wishing the recipient a happy holiday, and they offer a useful glimpse of how the American harvest feast was pictured in that era, with its emphasis on home, plenty and family.
