"Hallowe'en Greetings," 1915
01
Artifact Overview
Halloween's superstitious origins gave way to a national celebration of mystery and innocent fun in 20th-century America. Seasonal greeting cards commonly exchanged by friends and neighbors during Halloween reflected a distinctly American blend of olden customs and modern life. Traditional symbols - a jack-o-lantern and black cat - join a child in contemporary costume on this card from 1915.
