Vintage 1909 Thanksgiving Greetings Turkey & Scenic Lithograph Postcard

This charming vintage Thanksgiving postcard features a beautifully detailed lithograph print of a proud turkey and a serene countryside scene with a windmill and red-roofed houses at sunset. The postcard is part of the "Thanksgiving" series, numbered 9400, and was copyrighted in 1909 by Julius Bien & Co., a well-known publisher of early 20th-century postcards. The design includes elegant gold-embossed clover leaves and flowing white lines connecting the images, adding a distinctive decorative touch. Measuring the standard 5.5 x 3.5 inches, this original printed postcard captures the warm spirit of Thanksgiving with nostalgic Americana imagery. The back shows a typed divided back layout with space for writing and addressing. It is postmarked November 21, 1909, from Sparta, MO, and bears a one-cent green U.S. postage stamp featuring Benjamin Franklin. Handwritten notes add to the collectible appeal of this early 20th-century holiday greeting. A great piece for postcard collectors and those interested in vintage holiday ephemera.
