THANKSGIVING GREETINGS
Description
Against the ornamental vine borders and decorative heraldic shields of this Victorian-era card, a magnificent turkey in full display commands attention with vibrant chromolithographic color. The upper half showcases an abundant harvest arrangement overflowing with seasonal bounty—corn, grapes, apples, pears, pineapple, and other fruits—crowned with a patriotic American shield above the period-appropriate 'Thanksgiving Greetings' text. Below, the turkey dominates with naturalistic detail, while a second smaller turkey is visible behind it to the right.
