About this postcard

A color-printed Thanksgiving card showing a single turkey with fanned tail feathers against a plain background, captioned "Thanksgiving Greeting." The bird is rendered in brown, black, and red tones, with the caption printed in gold. Thanksgiving greeting postcards of the early 20th century often paired a turkey or harvest motif with a simple holiday wish, and this example carries a handwritten message on the picture side.
