This embossed Thanksgiving postcard features a richly colored illustration of a turkey framed in a medallion-style border with a red and white geometric pattern. The medallion is adorned with cascading clusters of blue forget-me-not flowers, suspended from gold-toned decorative chains on a muted green background. At the bottom, the card reads “Thanksgiving Greetings” in ornate type, with artistic embellishments around the capital “T.” The design suggests a turn-of-the-century aesthetic, possibly pre-1920.
The reverse shows it was postmarked November 21, 1920, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and addressed to Mr. & Mrs. C. Sommerfeld in Sleepy Eye, Minnesota. A short handwritten message simply reads “Thanksgiving Greetings from L.S.” along the side. The postcard is marked “Series No. 2395” and “Printed in Germany,” reflecting the era’s high-quality German chromolithographic printing, which was common in early 20th-century holiday postcards.
