I got a copy of this postcard at Hallowe'en at Greenfield Village, which is one of my favorite ways to celebrate the holiday.
From the Henry Ford Arte House collection: A jack-o-lantern character drives a fanciful watermelon
automobile with a witch and black cat as his passengers. A bat flies alongside
and a crescent moon is in the sky. Postcard made by Raphael Tuck & Sons Post
Cards, about 1907-1908. Postmarked Oct. 31, 1908, Nebraska. A book, print and
holiday card publisher in London, England, Raphael Tuck & Sons printed as
well as imported colorful chromolithographed postcards. In the 1890s they opened
a New York City office and their postcards proved immensely popular with the
American public through the 1910s.
