Old-fashioned Halloween postcards from the early 20th century seem to fall into two categories - the sinister, almost surreal, images of devils, witches and evil . . . vegetables, and images like these, which put a more light-hearted face on Halloween.
The prevalence of plump, innocent-looking children on many of these cards is largely thanks to Ellen Clapsaddle, an artist who created images for thousands of Halloween postcards in the early 1900's.
