A girl hugging a large turkey, with a cheerful holiday greeting printed across the card, makes this a classic example of the Thanksgiving postcard. Cards like this were mailed in large numbers in the early 1900s, when the picture postcard was at the height of its popularity in the United States and senders used them to share short notes and seasonal wishes. The sentimental style, with its bright colors and cheerful children, reflects how Thanksgiving was being promoted as a family holiday built around home, harvest and gratitude. Such cards are worth a closer look because they show how ordinary people experienced the holiday through a mass-produced medium.
