Vintage Thanksgiving Greeting Card with Children and Giant Pumpkin

What immediately strikes a modern viewer is the utterly unhinged scale of this pumpkin — it dwarfs two rosy-cheeked Victorian children who are engaged in full cooperative earnest to maneuver it, one in green overalls and a straw hat hauling via rope while the other in a red skirt pushes from behind, as if 'A Good Thanksgiving' requires the physical labor of small indentured servants. The pumpkin, to its credit, has the words 'A Good Thanksgiving' carved directly into its flesh like a warning or a prophecy. The cheerful 'Best Wishes For' header floats above this scene of child agricultural exploitation with breathtaking cognitive dissonance, because apparently the way to convey warm holiday greetings is by depicting toddlers in the grip of produce-related physical crisis.
