What pictures appear on vintage Halloween cards?
Victorian Halloween cards have distinct imagery that usually consists of pumpkins, cats, and witches. Some cards may show a creepy jack-o-lantern driving a car, while others may show a witch against an eerie black vintage background.
The creepy images on vintage Halloween cards are also accompanied by messages. Sometimes the message is a simple well-wishing one like "Happy Halloween," while other cards have creepy Victorian-style poems describing witches or ghosts.
Where do Victorian Halloween cards come from?
During the Victorian era, postcards started appearing with Halloween pictures on them. This practice continued on until 1918. However, during this period, the images were not printed on cards that opened up.
Instead, the cards were images printed onto a single piece of card like a postcard that you send home from vacation. These vintage cards were stylish and innovative, and literally, thousands of different images were created.
Many of the antique designs that you could buy over 100 years ago have now been repurposed onto stylish Halloween cards that you can gift to loved ones.
