Edwardian Thanksgiving Hunting Card with Boy and Native American
Text on Card
THANKS-GIVING HUNTING WAS MORE EXCITING THEN THAN NOW.
Description
At the center of this composition stands a mischievous young boy in formal attire and a black pilgrim hat, aiming a long rifle (not a blunderbuss) at a wild turkey in a playful Edwardian-era Thanksgiving hunting scene. From the right side, a Native American chief gestures animatedly, while the woodland setting features autumn-colored trees and a lush green meadow. The caption reads: 'Thanks-giving Hunting Was More Exciting Then Than Now.' The artist's signature 'HBG' appears in the lower right corner, marking this as a professionally illustrated vintage card from the early 20th century.
