    Young Boy Proudly Displaying a Grand Turkey

    $19.95

    This photograph from the George Grantham Bain Collection presents an intriguing glimpse into early 20th-century American life. Featuring a boy proudly holding a large turkey, the image dates back to the early 1900s, a period marked by significant social and cultural change. At the turn of the century, turkey had emerged as a centerpiece for family gatherings, especially during Thanksgiving, reflecting the growing tradition of celebrating this holiday among American families. Turkeys were often sourced locally, showcasing the importance of agriculture in communities at that time.

    The image also captures the essence of childhood in the early 1900s. Pestering local farms for fresh produce or livestock was common, and it underscores a more hands-on engagement with food often absent in today’s society. By highlighting the boys role in holding the turkey, the photograph invites reflection on the simple yet significant experiences of youth and the responsibilities associated with rural life during this era. Enhanced by the context of American history, this moment represents not just a personal memory, but also a connection to the broader practices of sustenance and celebration that define American cultural identity.
