Halloween Little Girl With Rolling Jack-O-Lantern Winsch Embossed Postcard

Halloween, stemming from ancient Celtic harvest festivals, underwent a significant transformation in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly in America. It evolved from traditions involving supernatural folklore and pranks into a more domesticated and child-centric holiday. The jack-o'-lantern, a central icon derived from Irish mythology, became firmly established during this era, commonly carved from pumpkins as a festive decoration.
