Thanksgiving 1910s Retro Turkey Before and After Holiday Postcard

Step back in time to the heartwarming Thanksgiving of the 1910s with this charming postcard. A vivid glimpse of contrasting moments, the image captures the essence of the holiday – gratitude, abundance, and the anticipation of a delicious feast. Before, on the left side of the image, a live turkey rooster takes centre stage, proudly standing on a rustic wooden table adorned with a chequered tablecloth. Its feathers are vibrant and untouched, a symbol of life and innocence. This unassuming bird gazes curiously at the bountiful spread before it, creating an ironic yet heartwarming juxtaposition. The table, on the right side, is transformed for the 'After' moment of Thanksgiving. A magnificent roasted turkey, beautifully glazed and garnished, now takes the spotlight. It sits atop a grandiose platter, glistening with golden perfection, ready to be savoured. Alongside the turkey, the table is laden with all the traditional Thanksgiving fixings - pumpkins, pies, and an array of sumptuous dishes. The juxtaposition is striking, capturing the transition from the living symbol of Thanksgiving to the culmination of the feast. This postcard offers a nostalgic journey through time and traditions, reminding us of the essence of Thanksgiving – a day for reflection, gratitude, and the joy of coming together for a delicious meal.
