I AM NEARING THE END OF MY LEYENDECKER THANKSGIVING COVER PRESENTATIONS.
1929. ONE OF THE FEW YOUNG FEMALES IN LEYENDECKER'S PRODUCTION, THE EARTH GODDESS SHOWERS HUMANITY WITH THE FALL'S HARVEST CORNUCOPIA BOUNTY. A CLEVER WAY OF PICTURING BOTH THE HOLIDAY AND THE SEASON.
1930. I LOVE THE THREE BUTCHER BABY COVERS!
1932. A BIT ANACHRONISTIC, THIS COVER DOCUMENTS A FANTASY THANKSGIVING LOCATED IN A VAGUELY CONTINENTAL SETTING--PROBABLY ENGLAND.
1933. I HAVE POSTED THIS ONE BEFORE, BUT IT BEARS SHOWING ONCE MORE. WHAT CALLED MY ATTENTION WAS THE SCRAWNY TURKEY, A STARK REMINDER OF THE DEPRESSION.
