Published by the renowned Raphael Tuck & Sons, this card is part of their "Thanksgiving Day Post Cards" Series N° 128, a testament to its collectible lineage and the high-quality lithographic printing from Saxony. The postcard features subtle embossing, adding a tactile dimension to the visual artistry and highlighting the contours of the turkeys. Bearing a 1908 postmark from "Lentown, PA" (likely Lehighton or Allentown) and addressed to "Shelly Station, Penna.", it offers a tangible connection to early American postal history and holiday traditions. The presence of a 1-cent Benjamin Franklin stamp further enhances its historical appeal, making it a valuable piece for collectors of holiday memorabilia, animal themes, or R.J. Wealthy and Raphael Tuck & Sons postcards.
