The Vacant Plate - Turkey - Ha, Ha! How disappointed they look. Now I have lots to be thankful for. Illustration shows the British Lion, the Russian Bear, a cat labeled Austria, and three dogs labeled "France, Italy, and Germany" gathered around a table for Thanksgiving dinner. The British Lion is holding a large knife labeled "Dismemberment of Turkey", but the platter is empty. Looking in from the left is a turkey wearing a fez labeled "Turkey". Political cartoon, 1903
