Jack-o'-Lantern at Window - Halloween Art Print

Is it a mysterious pumpkin-headed figure or mischievous children playing a Halloween "trick" at the window? This scene, dating back to the 1910s, is part of a series depicting jack-o'-lanterns peering through windows to surprise those within, a common motif of Ellen Clapsaddle and the era's Halloween postcards in general.

Ellen Clapsaddle (1865-1934) was an American artist who was celebrated for her immense impact on vintage postcard illustration. With a staggering portfolio of over 3,000 designs in the souvenir postcard field, she played a pivotal role in the Golden Age of Postcards (1890s through World War I), during which hundreds of millions of postcards were printed, imported, sold, and mailed. Clapsaddle's artistry is beautifully preserved in these cherished nostalgic pieces, often featuring children, floral arrangements, and holiday themes. Her profound influence extended to postage stamps through the United States Postal Service, solidifying her status as a true pioneer in postcard illustration.
