Embossed postcards like this one, showing a child with a jack-o'-lantern, were a staple of Halloween greetings in the early twentieth century, when the holiday was shifting from older harvest and folk customs toward the family-centered, card-sending celebration many Americans know today. The raised, textured printing gave the image a glossy, three-dimensional look that made it stand out in a rack of cards. Its scene of a young trick-or-treater with a carved pumpkin reflects the pranks and playful mischief that were then part of the holiday's popular image.
