Victorian Thanksgiving Greeting Card with Anthropomorphic Pumpkin

Someone in 1910 decided that a turkey emerging from a jagged hole torn through an enormous pumpkin would be the perfect emblem of holiday warmth, complete with head, wattles, and a dead-eyed stare that suggests the bird knows exactly what season this is. A large white feathered quill slashes diagonally across the composition bearing 'Thanksgiving Greeting' in cheerful red script, adding yet another surreal accessory to what is already a fever dream. The Art Nouveau gold flourishes and tasteful ivy vines framing this image suggest the artist was technically skilled, deeply unwell, and absolutely certain that the holiday's main course should be forced to announce its own celebration.
