Artifact Overview
By the late 1800s, a distinct blend of Halloween customs had emerged in the United States. The holiday was mostly an innocent celebration of mystery and fun into the 20th century, though traditions often reflected Halloween's supernatural origins. This postcard depicts one popular superstition that a mirror could reveal a young lady's romantic future during Halloween.
