When I look at the beautiful graphics from the "golden age" of postcards, I'm amazed at the creativity of the artists. Each season of the year and each holiday presented a new opportunity for them to showcase their talent. The beautiful colors achieved by the chromolithograph process used for postcards and trade cards of the time resulted in magnificently hued artworks. Often embossed for texture with metallic gold or silver ink or even flocking added for extra embellishment, old postcards are wonderful little treasures. And for many serious collectors, Halloween postcards are some of the most valuable and sought-after. To read more about postcards, you can refer to my post HERE.
I've combed Pinterest and my own image gallery to share some of the most imaginative examples of Halloween postcards I could find. There are so many great examples out there, it was difficult to narrow them down. I'm going to refrain from commentary so you can just enjoy the images.....
Happy Halloween!
