# Life Magazine Cover - November 1903 This is a **Thanksgiving cover** from Life magazine dated November 1903. The illustration depicts a woman holding an infant, with decorative text reading "LIFE" at the top and "THANKSGIVING NOV. 1903" at the bottom. The image appears to be a straightforward seasonal illustration rather than political satire—it celebrates motherhood and the holiday season. The woman is dressed in early 1900s clothing, and the baby is rendered in a cherubic style typical of the era. The stamp reading "PROPERTY OF THE MIDDLETOWN CLUB" indicates this was a library copy. Without additional context or captions explaining satirical intent, this appears to be decorative cover art rather than commentary, though Life was primarily a satirical publication.
