 ✨Antique Embossed Thanksgiving Postcard✨

🔔 DESCRIPTION
Enhance your collection with this genuine antique Thanksgiving postcard published by the renowned Raphael Tuck & Sons. This card is from their celebrated "Thanksgiving Day" Post Cards Series No. 175 and features a highly detailed, embossed autumn harvest scene. The artwork presents a large, central pumpkin inscribed with the warm greeting: "May you have Peace and Plenty on your Thanksgiving Day." Surrounding the pumpkin are vibrant ears of corn, colorful fall chrysanthemums, harvested apples, and a small inset scene depicting turkeys roaming near a rural homestead.
The reverse side shows a clear, crisp circular postmark from Osceola, Nebraska, dated November 28, 1911. It includes a green 1-cent Benjamin Franklin stamp, a beautifully handwritten message in ink wishing a happy Thanksgiving, and the signature royal appointment crest indicating Tuck's status as "Art Publishers to Their Majesties the King and Queen." Printed in Saxony, Germany, this premium ephemera piece is perfect for vintage collectors, holiday decorating, or framing.
