Darlings, today kicks off a holiday week here in the United States. While Halloween will always be my favorite, I do have a soft spot for all the events of autumn; celebrations of harvests and softly falling leaves, as we prepare for a dark and cozy period before the wheel turns once again to sun and summer.
In honor of this week’s fall festival, here is a whole collection of early 20th century Thanksgiving art from magazine covers and America’s Golden Age of Postcards. I am particularly partial to the lovely 1914 George Barbier Harper’s Bazar cover at right. Enjoy!

I would bite the arm off anyone who tried to take a well-roasted turkey thigh away from me. True story.

You play a dangerous game, my friend.

Wonderful images! Thank you for sharing! (and thank you to George Barbier!)
Thank you, Juliette! I’m sure Mr. Barbier will make an appearance in future collections here – his works are just so lovely.
Those are great. I especially like “Thanksgiving 1900.”
Ah, excellent eye, Mr. Wolfe. That is one of my favorites, as well.
LOVE those old magazine covers. Such works of art.
Thank you darling. They are quite lovely. I have a whole collection of George Barbier advertising art. The colors and art deco styling are just tremendous.
I think there is supposed to be another Z in that word.
The spelling of bazaar is bizarre.
