Vintage Thanksgiving Greeting Card with Turkey & Forest Scene

The turkey—rendered in sickly yellows and muddy greens that suggest someone had genuine beef with the color wheel—struts in the foreground with the energy of someone who just found out they're the guest of honor at dinner. Behind it, a framed forest vignette showcases gnarled, twisting trees that look less 'autumn foliage' and more 'haunted woodland where decisions are made.' Autumn maple leaves festoon the borders in various states of dying, which—paired with the cheery red script declaring 'May you feel the joy of living every time it comes'—creates the kind of existential whiplash only a century-old greeting card can deliver. The turkey itself isn't staring at you, which is somehow worse, because it has the calm, unbothered posture of a creature that knows exactly what it is and has made peace with the irony.
