J. C. Leyendecker: Thanksgiving, 1628-1928

J. C. Leyendecker's original cover art for the Saturday Evening Post edition of November 24, 1928, depicts the pilgrim's progress over three-hundred years. Its title is Thanksgiving, 1628-1928. The work was sold at Heritage Auctions in 2015.

This was before television was in the home and radio was only in its infancy. People, at least some of them, were actually attending the games on Thanksgiving Day—as they do today. Very likely someone had to stay home and cook.

It's a very nice piece and it sold for a very nice price.

The published magazine cover is shown here above the orignal art:
