Note du spécialiste

We would like to thank Martha Hoppin for her assistance with cataloguing this lot.

The Springfield Daily Republican likely described the present work in a January 21, 1878, article about an exhibition at Gill's Galleries, writing, "In figure painting we note first a perfect sample of J.G. Brown's work in his 'Thanksgiving Dinner'--a ruddy and sturdy boy gnawing with appetite a turkey-bone which he has evidently selected from the basket of cold victuals at his side."
