EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage postcard from ca. 1910 captures the essence of Thanksgiving Day greetings with its charming illustration of a pilgrim plucking a turkey. The image showcases the historical significance and customs associated with this beloved holiday. In the foreground, we see a determined pilgrim, dressed in traditional attire, carefully plucking feathers from a majestic turkey. His musket rests against his shoulder, symbolizing both the weapon used for hunting and the peaceful coexistence between Native North Americans and early settlers. Surrounding him are other men engaged in various activities, emphasizing communal celebration during this festive occasion. The scene is filled with vibrant colors and intricate details that bring to life the spirit of Thanksgiving. The postcard's design reflects commercial art and graphic design practices prevalent at that time. It belongs to a collection of lithographs known as offset lithographs or planographic prints which were commonly used for transfer prints like this one. Now housed in Lake County Museum, this piece offers us a glimpse into past customs and celebrations surrounding Thanksgiving. It serves as an important reminder of our shared history and cultural heritage. As we admire this nostalgic print today, it evokes feelings of gratitude for bountiful harvests, unity among diverse communities, and the cherished tradition of gathering together to give thanks.
