Under the printed greeting “Thanksgiving Greetings,” a girl in a blue dress and white pinafore feeds a flock of turkeys beside a picket fence. A boy in a dark suit stands near the water’s edge with another turkey, while a large tom fans his tail in the center foreground. The turkey, the traditional American holiday bird, serves as the scene’s emblem of the Thanksgiving feast, a common motif on illustrated greetings exchanged in the early 20th century.
