Two large pink chrysanthemums stand against a dark rectangular panel, with a trailing sprig of red berries and a small floral vignette at the right. The printed verse reads, “Wishing you the happiest Thanksgiving that you have ever had.” Chrysanthemums were a common autumn motif on Thanksgiving postcards of the early twentieth century, pairing seasonal flowers with a short holiday wish.
