EDITORS COMMENTS
A quintessential American scene: a young boy proudly holding up his freshly purchased Thanksgiving turkey between c1910 and c1915. This photograph, captured by the esteemed Bain News Service, freezes a moment in time that embodies the warmth and tradition of this beloved holiday.
The image is rendered in striking black and white tones, with the boy's bright smile and outstretched arms drawing attention to his prized possession - a plump, golden-brown turkey. The scene is set against a backdrop of everyday life, perhaps on Main Street or at a local market, where families would gather to purchase their holiday fare.
This photograph not only captures the excitement and anticipation of Thanksgiving but also speaks to the nostalgia and simplicity of an era long past. It's a reminder that even as times change, certain traditions remain steadfast - like gathering around the table with loved ones on Turkey Day.
The Bain News Service was renowned for its press photography, capturing life in America during this pivotal period between c1910 and c1915. This photograph is now part of the Library of Congress' Heritage Images collection, a treasure trove of historical photographs that offer a unique glimpse into our collective past.
