A Symbol of Tradition - Thanksgiving Turkey (circa 1910-1915)
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming photograph taken by George Graham Bain's renowned news service in the early decades of the 20th century, a proud young boy proudly carries a freshly roasted turkey on his back. The image captures the essence of American tradition and family gatherings during the holiday season.
As Thanksgiving Day approaches, families would typically come together to share stories, laughter, and delicious meals featuring this iconic bird as its centerpiece. This photograph not only showcases the importance of poultry in traditional celebrations but also highlights a bygone era when photography was still an emerging medium for capturing everyday life.
The black-and-white print offers a timeless quality that transcends generations, inviting viewers to step into the past and experience the warmth and joy associated with this quintessential American holiday. The image is part of Bain News Service's extensive archive, which has been preserved by the Library of Congress as an invaluable record of America's cultural heritage.
This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of simpler times when family traditions were cherished, and community gatherings brought people together to celebrate life's blessings. As we look back on this vintage image, it is clear that some things remain unchanged – our love for good food, warm company, and the enduring spirit of Thanksgiving.
