In the early 1900s, Halloween was commonly celebrated by adults with masquerade balls, costume parties, and social gatherings, featuring handmade costumes often designed to be eerie or uncanny. These events, popular during the Gilded Age and Victorian eras, allowed for social, playful, and often spooky celebrations featuring dancing, games, and masks to mask identities.

This 1920's original R. Tuck and Son's postcard is a true original and an antique. It's from the Tuck and Son's 363b series called, "The Carnival." This card reads , "Pierrot en bonne fortune." The translation means, "Pierrot in good fortune." Tuck and Son's hired various artists to colorize Linsdell's work, for lack of a better word. I am not so sure why Mr. Linsdell avoided color, but he indeed did captured his vision through the anatomy of his sketching.  Please take your time to review the photos. Your card will be shipped in a protective plastic sleeve in a hard bodied mailer. Should you have any questions, please message me through eBay. Thanks, Dan
