Vintage Thanksgiving Turkey Greeting Card | Victorian Era

A dramatically drooping red wattle cascades down the turkey's neck like it's auditioning for a Victorian melodrama, paired with a pale bluish-white body that gives the bird the distinct energy of someone who has recently received bad news. The meticulously rendered fan of brown feathers frames this whole grotesque portrait like a nature documentary gone wrong, while the split typography of 'Thanks giving Treasures' suggests the card's designer had a small crisis mid-layout and just committed to it. Surrounding this unhinged centerpiece, a border of embossed pumpkins and yellow flowers tries desperately to maintain the illusion that this is a wholesome seasonal greeting and not a formal portrait of a bird that has clearly seen things.
