Text on Card
Thanksgiving Greetings
Description
A soft green background scattered with tiny gold stars provides the setting for this Thanksgiving greeting card, which is dominated by a magnificently detailed turkey rendered in rich reds, golds, and greens with chromolithographic precision. The bird's elaborate tail feathers fan outward in a dazzling display, framed by an ornate geometric border with pointed spade-like shapes in olive and cream tones. Autumn foliage—golden and crimson leaves—adorns the upper corners, while the elegant script 'Thanksgiving Greetings' flows beneath the turkey in period-appropriate typography.
Subjects
turkey, autumn leaves, decorative border, stars, Thanksgiving
