EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming and whimsical Thanksgiving postcard from the late 1890s. The image features a cheerful young boy, dressed in a red and green sweater, seated comfortably on the back of a large, golden-brown turkey. The turkey, with its vibrant feathers spread out, appears to be in a playful mood as it struts along, its wings slightly raised. The autumnal scene is completed with the rich colors of the leaves and the warm, earthy tones of the background. This postcard is a delightful representation of the traditions and customs of the Thanksgiving celebration in America during the late 19th century. The image captures the joy and merriment of the season, as well as the importance of the turkey as the centerpiece of the Thanksgiving feast. The use of red and green, traditional colors associated with the holiday, adds to the festive atmosphere. The postcard is a testament to the enduring spirit of Thanksgiving and the traditions that have been passed down through generations. It invites us to reflect on the simple pleasures of the season and the importance of gathering with loved ones to give thanks for the blessings in our lives. Whether you're sending this postcard to a friend or keeping it as a cherished keepsake, it's sure to bring a smile to your face and a sense of warmth to your heart.
