A woman in a white cap and apron carries a large pudding, with a live turkey visible through a snowy lattice window behind her and a roasted turkey on a platter in the foreground. The scene pairs the holiday table with the live bird at the window, a common Thanksgiving abundance motif. Thanksgiving postcards of the early 1900s often mixed colonial-style costume, harvest produce, and turkey imagery to celebrate the holiday.
