A roasted turkey with head still attached commands the center of this exuberant Victorian-era greeting card, surrounded by an abundant harvest display including grapes, pineapple, apples, and vegetables, all arranged on a formal table with fine dishware and silverware. Miniature American flags are incorporated as decorative elements throughout the composition. A wine or champagne bottle sits in an ice bucket in the background.
