This original Halloween postcard from the early 20th century features a lithograph print of a young woman in a vivid red dress holding a candle and a mirror. The scene captures a spooky Halloween ritual with the woman poised to see a mysterious figure in the mirror, accompanied by the playful verse: "My Halloween Greeting. Let this design on you prevail to try the trick, (it cannot fail.) Back down the stairs with candle dim and in the mirror you'll see HIM!". The postcard is a fine example of early divided back postcards (1907-1915), allowing for correspondence and address on the back, and bears the series number 363 with the theme of Halloween & designs, printed in the USA. Measuring the standard size of 5.5 x 3.5 inches, this postcard is printed on paper using lithography, a popular printing technique of the era that offers rich colors and detailed imagery.
