EDITORS COMMENTS
Thanksgiving Day, 1885: A Gathering of Political Heavyweights This illustration captures the spirit of camaraderie and gratitude as President Grover Cleveland and his cabinet officers celebrate Thanksgiving Day on November 25, 1885. The scene takes place in a grand dining room, with President Cleveland standing at the head of the table, surrounded by his esteemed cabinet members: Bayard, Manning, Garland, Whitney, Lamar, Endicott, and Vilas. Each cabinet officer is seated at a labeled placemat, adding a touch of formality to the festive occasion. The centerpiece of the table is a beautifully decorated cornucopia, symbolizing abundance and prosperity, while a large turkey, presented by Puck with the inscription "With Compliments of all Good Citizens," takes pride of place. The wall in the background bears an inscription that reads "Public Office is a Public Trust," emphasizing the importance of integrity and accountability in government. This illustration, published in a popular magazine of the time, showcases the unity and goodwill that transcended political differences during the holiday season. The image serves as a reminder of the shared values and traditions that brought people together in the late 19th century, making it a fascinating glimpse into American history.
