THANKSGIVING GREETINGS
Description
At the center of this composition stands a large turkey rendered in detailed browns and reds with magnificent tail feathers, suspended from a pole carried on the shoulders of two children in period clothing. The boy on the left wears a blue jacket and red cap, while the child on the right is dressed in a festive red coat and dark hat. This charming Victorian-era Thanksgiving greeting card captures the innocent charm of late 19th-century holiday imagery through its whimsical and endearing depiction of the holiday celebration.
