Puck Thanksgiving, 1905
Illustration shows a domestic servant carrying a large platter with a roast turkey raised above her shoulders to keep it away from a dog anxious for a taste. 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 Carl Hassmann and published by J. Ottmann Lithograph Company, November 22, 1905.
