EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage postcard from ca. 1908 captures the essence of Thanksgiving with its rich symbolism and heartfelt message. Titled "Give Us This Day Our Turkey Postcard" it portrays a scene filled with room, patriotism, tradition, and togetherness. In the center of the image, a family gathers around a dining table adorned with an American flag-themed tablecloth. They are joined by their beloved pet cat, emphasizing the domesticity and warmth of this holiday celebration. The children eagerly await the centerpiece of their meal - a succulent turkey beautifully displayed on a platter. The text on the postcard reflects both faith and gratitude as it references the Lord's Prayer: "Give Us This Day Our Turkey". It serves as a reminder that Thanksgiving is not only about indulging in delicious food but also expressing appreciation for our blessings. The composition showcases elements that were significant during that time period - men wearing suits, women dressed elegantly, boys in knickerbockers, and girls donning pinafores. These North Americans come together to honor customs and celebrations deeply rooted in their culture. Printed by Curt Teich Company using offset lithography technique popular at that time, this postcard represents American design arts from an era when commercial art played an essential role in graphic design. Its nostalgic charm transports us back to simpler times when families gathered around tables laden with love and gratitude during Thanksgiving festivities.
