Vintage Thanksgiving Greeting Card with Turkey & Flag-Waving Child in Witch Hat

A pumpkin cart on daisy wheels, a turkey in a red hat strapped to the harness, and a child in a spotted outfit and pointy hat brandishing an American flag like a tiny imperialist colonizing the holiday — these elements raise immediate questions about who, exactly, is in charge here. The turkey, enormous and brown, leans into the harness with the resigned energy of someone who just checked their 401k, apparently fine with this arrangement. The decorative daisy wheels suggest someone put considerable craft into this vehicle, which makes the whole scene worse, not better. 'Thanksgiving Greetings,' it says, as if this fever dream of patriotic poultry labor relations is a completely normal thing to mail to your aunt.
