German Halloween Woman With Black Cat And Bat Winsch Embossed Postcard

The Hallowe'en Greetings postcard exemplifies the significant rise of holiday-themed ephemera in the early 20th century, particularly between 1900 and 1920. During this period, Halloween transitioned from primarily regional folk traditions into a widely celebrated American holiday, often marked by social gatherings and the exchange of festive cards. The postcard's whimsical imagery, featuring a girl on a jack-o'-lantern alongside a black cat, bat, and moon, reflects the era's characteristic approach to Halloween, blending ancient superstitions with a charming and less frightful aesthetic.
