Below is a 1939 chrome postcard from The Macy Color Views of New York series, featuring a float making its way around Columbus Circle. Most vintage Thanksgiving postcards feature greetings, poetry, and traditional imagery, but it is rare to discover a postcard featuring both Thanksgiving and a New York City theme. Picture perfect! I am a deltiologist since 2002 (beginning with collecting Forest Hills postcards, which now benefit historic preservation causes), so this postcard resides in the Michael Perlman Postcard Collection. Please feel free to share this artifact with your family and friends.
