EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful turn-of-the-century image captures the playful spirit of America's most iconic Thanksgiving symbol - the turkey. In this charming print, the proud fowl, adorned with vibrant wattles and a curious beak, seems to relish in the fame that comes with being the centerpiece of the annual harvest celebration. The turkey's expression suggests a sense of joy and contentment, perhaps even a touch of mischief, as it gazes at the sheet music and lyric sheet spread before it. The seasonal custom of Thanksgiving, deeply rooted in the United States, is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. This day of giving thanks is marked by the sharing of a bountiful meal with loved ones, often featuring the roasted turkey as its star ingredient. The turkey's bursting pride in this role is palpable, as it seems to sing along to the music notated on the sheet, its own version of a Thanksgiving anthem. Despite the turkey's momentary thrill, the joyous occasion is not without its bittersweet undertones. The turkey's fame is fleeting, as it is all too often the case that its life is cut short in a matter of hours, to make way for the festive feast. This poignant reminder of the cycle of life and the importance of gratitude is a poignant reminder of the true spirit of the Thanksgiving season.
