The beginning of a series of Thanksgiving postcards from 1908-1911, from my friend Debra's collection.
What looks like grey lines on the corn and the turkey, is actually glitter and both cards are embossed. It is hard to see that in a scan. I particularly like the feather on the right.
Today is Postcard Friendship Friday, so check out other postcards blogs if you get a chance.

ReplyDeleteSuch pretty vintage postcards. I especially like the Turkey's eye peeking out of the feather. That is an unusual card.

Somehow that turkey's eye doesn't strike me as a happy eye. Happy thanksgiving to him too.
