Here's wishing you a happy Thanksgiving, just as Mr. Bumpus did when he sent this beautiful card to his daughter in 1911.
About Me
- Christine H.
- I love antique postcards because they preserve evidence of everyday life as well as celebrations and sad events. Looking at an old postcard is like holding a single piece of a puzzle; we have to imagine the rest. I will try to put up a postcard every day. If you have a special request for a particular city or place, let me know!
Well, I've started my postcard blog:

BTW, you appear to collect European postcards. I have a large aggregation of vintage European cards. If you might be interested in buying some of them, contact me directly (please see rivercontinua for my email address).
There are so many postcards of turkeys being served with their heads and feathers that I think it might have been the custom at one time. Does anyone know whether turkeys were actually served this way?
ReplyDeleteI think it's just an aesthetic representation...as is the woman on the card.
