About this postcard

A Thanksgiving greeting card showing a large gobbler turkey in the foreground beneath branches of white orange blossoms and two ripe oranges, with an inset view of a farmhouse, haystacks and autumn trees framed in an octagonal panel above. The design combines the traditional Thanksgiving turkey with southern citrus and blossom motifs, a common pairing in early twentieth-century holiday greetings that celebrated the autumn harvest. The whole composition is set on a silver, deeply embossed background.
