A large tom turkey stands in profile at right, its tail fanned, beside a small blue-tinted winter landscape at upper left. Above the scene, the printed greeting reads "Thanksgiving Wishes," followed by a four-line verse: "Wishes fairly crowd this rhyme for a glad Thanksgiving time." The turkey was the holiday's central emblem on early twentieth-century Thanksgiving cards, often paired with sentimental rhyme and a seasonal view.
