About this postcard
A chromolithographed Thanksgiving greeting shows a tom turkey standing inside an oval medallion ringed with blue-green beads, suspended by gold chains and draped with clusters of pink and red roses. The greeting 'THANKSGIVING GREETINGS' is set at the bottom in gold and brown lettering with a small anchor-and-heart ornament. Cards of this style, with gilded embossed ornament and floral swags framing a holiday emblem, were standard American holiday greetings in the first two decades of the 20th century.
