Vintage Thanksgiving Greeting Card with Turkey & Harvest

The turkey's fully spread tail feathers and raised wings constitute what can only be described as a full threat display, yet the card presents this as festive rather than the confrontational posture any reasonable person would recognize. Strutting across a semicircle of harvest bounty — pumpkins, grapes, corn, apples, and what appears to be bread — the bird's red wattle and iridescent black-and-brown plumage give it the energy of a Victorian villain who has just acquired a manor house. An ominous yellowish sky broils between dark clouds behind it, because apparently the best way to convey 'Good Wishes for Thanksgiving' is apocalyptic atmospheric conditions. The embossed olive-green border of fruits and vegetables frames the whole scene like a museum exhibit titled 'The Last Thing The Harvest Saw.'
