Victorian Thanksgiving Greetings Card with Turkey & Harvest

There's an almost defiant confidence in this design—a magnificently plump turkey bursting through what appears to be a torn envelope, a choice that screams 'I ran out of ideas but kept the scissors,' fixes you with the weary, thousand-yard stare of someone who absolutely knows what month it is. Above it, a quaint red-roofed farmhouse nestled among trees offers the kind of bucolic serenity that exists only in the imagination of people who have never actually been to a farm, while below, a partially husked ear of corn and what appears to be a golden apple or pear flanked by sprigs of red berries are arranged like tribute laid at the feet of a god. The whole thing is styled as an envelope with diagonal fold lines radiating outward, as if this turkey is literally delivering itself to your door—which, when you think about it, is the most honest Thanksgiving card ever made. 'Thanksgiving Greetings' is split across both sides in red and gold lettering, because apparently the best way to say 'festive holiday' is elegant typography framing what is functionally a ransom note from a bird.
