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

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

family gatherings for Thanksgiving or other occasions.
