Davis Co. Halloween Postcard 'I'm Sending You Across...'

Halloween, as depicted on this postcard, reflects its transformation in the early 20th century from an ancient harvest festival with supernatural and spiritual undertones to a more secular, child-focused holiday in North America and Western cultures. This period witnessed the widespread popularization of the jack-o'-lantern, a tradition rooted in Irish folklore, becoming a central, cheerful symbol of the season.
