Woman with Halloween Jack-O-Lanterns John Wisch 1913 Embossed Postcard

This 1913 postcard, titled The Magic Hallowe'en, embodies the aesthetic of early 20th-century holiday greetings. It depicts a costumed figure, possibly a witch or mysterious harlequin, veiled and adorned with a skull and crossbones motif, surrounded by animated jack-o'-lanterns. The design reflects the whimsical yet slightly eerie visual language prevalent in Halloween ephemera of the period, contributing to the evolving iconography of the holiday.
