Vintage Thanksgiving Greeting Card with Pilgrim & Turkey

Meet the Pilgrim: a figure in a black wide-brimmed hat and dramatic red cape who finds himself pressing himself against a tree while a magnificently detailed turkey struts obliviously in the snow below—a power dynamic that somehow favors the bird. The turkey, rendered with the kind of obsessive anatomical love usually reserved for Renaissance portraits, looks like it could absolutely take this guy in a fight, and frankly the Pilgrim's wide-eyed, clinging posture suggests he knows it. Surrounded by an inexplicably cheerful border of daisies and pink florals, the whole scene radiates the energy of someone's Thanksgiving going very, very wrong—and the card's solution is to slap 'Thanksgiving Greeting' on it and call it festive.
