A place card for Maud Bassity from a Dupuy family Thanksgiving dinner, ca. 1928.

Her body is yellow and she has blue eyes, red lips, and rosy cheeks. At the bottom is space for the occupant's name and written in pencil is "Mrs. Bassity." On the reverse is Temple's hand is the pencil inscription: "In remembrance of our / gracious host and hostess / Mr & Mrs Sylvester Dupuy / Monday Nov 25 / Walter P. Temple / Sophia R. Reyna." The printed inscription of the manufacturer is near the bottom. Aside from browning, especially along the edges, the condition is good.
