EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "THANKSGIVING, 1882. Buying turkeys for Thanksgiving" takes us back in time to a rural American scene during the late 19th century. The wood engraving beautifully captures the essence of daily life on a farm, showcasing an important tradition of preparing for the Thanksgiving feast. In this picturesque setting, we see a bustling farm yard with a charming farmhouse chimney billowing smoke into the crisp autumn air. A vendor's wagon is parked nearby, filled to the brim with plump turkeys ready to be weighed and purchased by eager customers. Men and women gather around, carefully selecting their holiday centerpiece while engaging in friendly conversations. A young girl stands beside her farming father, observing intently as he examines one particular turkey. Her presence reminds us that Thanksgiving is not only about food but also about family bonds and passing down traditions from generation to generation. The winter landscape adds an extra layer of authenticity to this snapshot of Americana history. Snow blankets the ground and tree branches, creating a serene backdrop against which these hardworking individuals carry out their tasks. As we admire this vintage engraving from 1882 by The Granger Collection, it serves as a reminder of how much our celebrations have evolved over time while still cherishing age-old customs that bring joy and gratitude into our lives each year on Thanksgiving Day.
