Victorian Thanksgiving Towne Turkey Cart Greeting Card
Text on Card
Thanksgiving Towne. We are a comin.
Description
A picturesque fortified village with distinctive towers and medieval architecture provides the backdrop for this charming Victorian-era Thanksgiving greeting card, where a whimsical fantasy scene unfolds: two oversized, vibrantly colored turkeys pull a red cart carrying two children—a girl in a pink dress and a boy in a dark coat and red hat—through the streets. The turkeys display brilliant plumage in jewel tones—emerald, sapphire, and crimson—rendered in fine chromolithographic detail, while townsfolk gather to witness this fantastical procession. The greeting reads 'Thanksgiving Towne' at the top and 'We are a comin.' at the bottom, capturing the playful anticipation of the holiday season.
