About this postcard

A pair of bronze turkeys, a hen at left and a displaying gobbler at right, flank a large orange pumpkin lettered 'PEACE AND PROSPERITY'. Shocks of corn and stalks of ripened maize fill the scene, framed by a border of corn ears and husks, with a small farmhouse silhouette at the upper right. Raphael Tuck & Sons of London issued the design; the firm was a major publisher of holiday postcards in the early 20th century, when Thanksgiving greetings were a regular part of the holiday trade alongside Christmas and Easter.
