Vintage Thanksgiving Greeting Card with Pilgrim & Harvest

A second pumpkin appears to float inexplicably behind the first Pilgrim's head—suggesting either a perspective catastrophe or genuine levitation—as this extremely committed young man, dressed in full Pilgrim regalia with buckled hat, white collar, brown breeches, and teal stockings, cradles an enormous pumpkin like it's his firstborn child. Behind him, a basket of apples and what appears to be corn complete the harvest tableau, because apparently one gourd wasn't enough to make the point. The right border is a vertical column of dark, plump, pendulous fruits—olives or plums—dangling in a way that is frankly a lot, botanically speaking. At the bottom, a silhouetted turkey stands near a scroll-framed poem called 'Lest We Forget,' which delivers a haunting little meditation on hardship and harvest mortality, because if you wanted to convey 'Happy Thanksgiving,' obviously a gentle reminder that your forebears suffered is the move.
