EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming and whimsical Thanksgiving postcard from the 1890s. The image features three turkeys, each proudly wearing red, white, and green feathers, as they gracefully ride in a quaint, horse-drawn carriage adorned with American flags. The turkeys, with their large, expressive eyes and humanized features, seem to be enjoying the autumnal scenery that surrounds them, as the leaves turn golden and the air grows crisp. The postcard's design showcases the anthropomorphic and anthropomorphized elements of the turkeys, adding a touch of playfulness and delight to the traditional Thanksgiving celebration. The use of red, green, and white colors, reminiscent of the American flag, further emphasizes the patriotic spirit of the holiday. As the turkeys pull the carriage, their feathers ruffle in the wind, creating a sense of motion and liveliness. The postcard's intricate details, such as the turkeys' individual expressions and the delicate folds of their feathers, demonstrate the skillful craftsmanship of the artist. This postcard, with its delightful imagery and nostalgic charm, invites us to reflect on the rich history and customs of Thanksgiving. It serves as a reminder of the importance of family, tradition, and the simple joys of the season, making it a cherished piece of Americana.
