Description
Sporting a red ruffled outfit with yellow shoes and a blue hat trimmed with a green ribbon and red feather, this anthropomorphic jack-o'-lantern from the early 1900s cuts a distinctly jaunty figure. The pumpkin-headed character displays a bulbous nose and carved expression, its pink hands positioned firmly at the hips in a characteristically confident pose. Set against a black starry background, the bold chromolithographic printing with vibrant colors exemplifies the artistry of American greeting cards from this era.
