Thanksgiving Greetings

Description

Adorned in rich jewel tones of blue, purple, and red, two ornate wild turkeys grace this charming early 20th-century Thanksgiving greeting card. Positioned among autumn foliage with a prominent orange pumpkin in the foreground and what appears to be a smaller gourd to the right, the elegant birds create a nostalgic composition. The script greeting 'Thanksgiving Greetings' appears in cursive penmanship on the upper right, while soft watercolor washes lend a gentle atmosphere typical of early 1900s holiday correspondence.

Subjects

turkeys, pumpkin, foliage/plants, small gourd or second pumpkin
