A holiday postcard from 1907 shows a family gathered around a dinner table, a scene that captures how Thanksgiving was being marketed and imagined in the early twentieth century. Color postcards of this kind were a major part of American popular print culture around that time, when printers used chromolithography and later color-separation methods to turn ordinary greetings into cheerful keepsakes. Cards like this one helped fix the image of a warm, multigenerational table as the ideal of the holiday, a picture that still shapes how many people think about Thanksgiving today.
