Universal City: Universal Pictures, 1941. Two vintage Thanksgiving-themed publicity photographs, one showing actresses Marie McDonald and Elaine Morey dressed in stereotypical "Indian" and "cowgirl" costumes, the other showing McDonald alone. Printed mimeo snipes affixed to the versos.

From the archive of noted Hollywood still photographer Ray Jones. Born in Wisconsin on January 1, 1901, Jones worked for Paramount Pictures in the early 1930s, and went on to be the head of the still photography department at Universal Pictures in 1935, where he worked well into the 1950s.
