Thanksgiving Feast with Phonograph, Lamp, and Wallpaper

A Vintage Photos Theme Park photo for the monthly topic of family gatherings for Thanksgiving or other occasions.

A family pauses for a photo before they dig in to their Thanksgiving dinner. Despite the turkey, pies, and other dishes on the table, my eye was drawn to the kerosene lamp hanging from the ceiling, the elaborate design of the wallpaper in the background, and the cylinder phonograph hidden in the shadows on the sideboard. See a cropped version of the photo for a better view of these items. For another photo with a similar phonograph, see Young Man Posing with an Edison Cylinder Phonograph.

This is a real photo postcard with a divided back (introduced in 1907) but no stamp box, address, or message.

Those are very interesting items, Alan, but all I could think of was how fabulous this photo would be for a food historian! A whole vintage Thanksgiving laid out perfectly in all its historical glory! Wow.

Thanks, Deborah, perhaps the food does deserve more attention. See this cropped version for better view of the vittles.
