Product Description

Taken from the book of the same title is a selection of the images of Halloween as celebrated in the early twentieth century, when it was a romantic holiday, a time for soothsaying traditions in love and luck. The years from 1900 to 1918 are considered the 'Golden Age of Postcards' -- a time when lavishly designed and printed cards were exchanged at every available occasion. Halloween cards were extremely popular, full of all the vivid imagery of the occasion, and are highly sought-after collector's items today. These beautifully illustrated postcards capture the essence of the romantic art and customs of yesteryear and are a delightful commemoration of America's fastest-growing holiday: Halloween.

5.0 out of 5 stars Title confusing - but charming collection, September 16, 2006

By	CHC "Vintage Mom" (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

I see from a previous review that the title of this collection is confusing since it seems to indicate that there is information on Halloween customs in the book...I think this is arising from the fact that this is a companion book to the ACTUAL book (by the same author) called "Romantic Art and Customs of Yesteryear". If you take this one as an extention of that book (to give people the art as a separate, usable item) it makes more sense. I love it as the little vintage window it is.

4.0 out of 5 stars Unusual selection, good quality, November 13, 2001

By	Famous Aimless "aimless-" (Denver, CO USA) - See all my reviews

I use these books for crafts. This book contains a really great unusual selection, unlike the Halloween postcards I've seen in other books. Recommend if you are looking for something different. They would also be fun to actually mail, but who wants to give them up?

Love the look of these post cards. Wish I could afford the originals but since I can't these are excellent!

These postcards are really neat! I wanted to tear them out and put them up for Halloween, but I couldn't bear to take the book apart (call it librarian syndrome). Read more

Vintage Halloween is so much better than our unimaginative Halloween. Commercial isn't the problem, it was commercial back then, as well. It was just more imaginative. Read more

This book provides terrific postcards from "back in the day" (WAY back). These can be used as is or to give one inspiration. Lots of fun any way you use them.

Customs?...what customs? This is just a collection of tear-out postcard reprints with no comments, far less writing, to go along with them. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Great vintage artwork for Halloween-ists!
A small collection of Halloween related postcards. It could have used a few more in it, but its ok for the price.
