Thanksgiving Satire, Puck Magazine, 1912
Illustration shows a Thanksgiving Day celebration at Plymouth Colony with a "Hot Dog" vendor in the foreground, a "Pink Firewater" booth on the upper left, where the Natives have congregated, and a large group of Pilgrims entering a stockade for a football game, "Ye Indians versus Ye Pilgrims", which is about to begin. Thanksgiving, or Thanksgiving Day, is a holiday celebrated in the United States on the fourth Thursday in November. Thanksgiving was celebrated nationally in 1789, after a proclamation by George Washington. It has been celebrated as a federal holiday every year since 1863, when President Lincoln proclaimed it a national day of "Thanksgiving". In 1941, President Roosevelt signed a bill making the date of Thanksgiving a matter of federal law and fixing the day as the fourth Thursday of November. Together with Christmas and New Year, Thanksgiving is a part of the broader holiday season. Illustrated by Samuel D. Ehrhart and published by Keppler & Schwarzmann, November 20, 1912.
