Victorian Thanksgiving Greeting Card with Chrysanthemums and Turkey

The turkey in the lower right corner watches with the energy of someone who just realized the party is actually for them, tail fanned out in full display while two large chrysanthemums — tied with lavender ribbon bows like the world's most aggressively festive corsages — flank a gold oval frame containing a serene pastoral scene of a horse-drawn cart, a cottage, and a glowing yellow sky, as if the flowers are literally presenting rural America as their gift to you. The chrysanthemums are doing load-bearing decorative work that no flower should be asked to do, the ribbons connect everything with the logic of a fever dream, and this deeply unhinged composition decides subtlety was for cowards.
