Description
Large Turkey platter "Home for Thanksgiving" around 1896 Robert Johnson moved to New York to promote their products in America. This platter is from the Historic America Series.
Johnson Bros borrowed many designs from famous American paintings printed by Currier and Ives. This one is based on an 1867 painting Home to Thanksgiving. They could not just copy it so they changed the "to" to "for" in the title and added a poor doomed turkey into the middle of the picture.
