Vintage Thanksgiving Greeting Card with Children & Pumpkin
Text on Card
THANKSGIVING For wealth and plenty in the land, For faith in God's sustaining hand, For every blessing great and small We thank the giver of it all.
Description
A boy and girl in winter dress stand together with a large golden pumpkin in a snowy landscape on this charming Edwardian-era Thanksgiving greeting card. He wears a black pilgrim hat with buckle and blue breeches while she's dressed in a red cape over a green dress with matching green bonnet. Decorative grape vine borders in purple and green frame the composition, symbolizing harvest abundance. Below the illustration runs an inspiring verse: "For wealth and plenty in the land, / For faith in God's sustaining hand, / For every blessing great and small / We thank the giver of it all." The chromolithographic printing technique creates soft, luminous colors characteristic of early 20th-century holiday cards, capturing the sentimental spirit of Thanksgiving celebrations during the Edwardian period.
