Victorian Thanksgiving Menu Card with Girl & Turkey

A menu card that promises a Thanksgiving feast instead delivers nothing but motivational poster abstractions: Faith, Hope, Charity, Long Life, Wealth, Comfort, Health, Success, Good Luck, and Prosperity—yet a rosy-cheeked Victorian girl in a red bow-festooned dress casually hoists what can only be described as a corn-on-the-cob tower cake with a mushroom on top, because nothing says 'Thanksgiving' like deeply phallic centerpiece cuisine. The actual turkey, very much alive, fully feathered, and radiating the energy of someone who has just read their own obituary, stands right next to this menu board either as ironic garnish or a hostage situation, while gold leaf vines and pumpkin outlines frame the whole unhinged scene like God's most festive crime scene tape.
