Filed under the name hallcard4, this item is catalogued as one of the Halloween cards in the collection, and the number suggests it may belong to a numbered set. Halloween greeting cards were especially popular in the United States and Britain in the early 1900s, when printers produced large runs of embossed and die-cut cards showing witches, black cats, jack-o'-lanterns and harvest scenes. People sent them to friends and family as greetings or party invitations, and surviving examples now show how the holiday was celebrated before mass-produced costumes and candy became central to it.
