About this postcard

A tom turkey stands above a harvest still life of fruit and a small lamp, with the printed greeting 'For Your Thanksgiving Day' and a four-line verse about autumn fields and gathered crops. The imagery draws on the holiday's association with the fall harvest, a common motif on Thanksgiving postcards of the 1920s. The sender's note is a hurried holiday greeting, apologizing for not writing sooner and mentioning caregiving at 'Washington Highness' (likely Washington Heights) on Thanksgiving Day.
