About this postcard

A Thanksgiving Greetings card showing a winged cherub in a red sash carrying an oversized ear of corn tied with a red ribbon against a bright blue ground. The image draws on Thanksgiving's association with the autumn harvest, using corn as a symbol of plenty, while the cherub adds a sentimental greeting-card motif typical of the early twentieth century.
