Before the widespread use of telephones and in an age when long-distance travel was a significant undertaking, these postcards offered an affordable and heartfelt way to connect with loved ones.
Each of these featured postcards showcases a unique Thanksgiving scene, with the majestic turkey often taking center stage as a symbol of abundance and festivity.
As you turn the pages back to the turn of the century, immerse yourself in the nostalgia and warmth of early 20th-century America, and reflect on the timeless tradition of giving thanks.
