 | Average Customer Rating: Recommend Taken from the book of the same title is a selection of the images of Halloween as celebrated in the early twentieth century, when it was a romantic holiday, a time for soothsaying traditions in love and luck.

- Romantic Halloween Postcards
- These postcards are really neat! I wanted to tear them out and put them up for Halloween, but I couldn't bear to take the book apart (call it librarian syndrome). The images really got me interested in the history of Halloween and even inspired me to do some vintage looking Halloween crafts. I want to get the book by the same author that explains the significance of the images.

- Vintage Halloween is Great!
- Vintage Halloween is so much better than our unimaginative Halloween. Commercial isn't the problem, it was commercial back then, as well. It was just more imaginative. None of the cards that they sell for Halloween can compare to these.

- Great!
- This book provides terrific postcards from "back in the day" (WAY back). These can be used as is or to give one inspiration. Lots of fun any way you use them.

- Title confusing - but charming collection
- I see from a previous review that the title of this collection is confusing since it seems to indicate that there is information on Halloween customs in the book...I think this is arising from the fact that this is a companion book to the ACTUAL book (by the same author) called "Romantic Art and Customs of Yesteryear". If you take this one as an extention of that book (to give people the art as a separate, usable item) it makes more sense. I love it as the little vintage window it is.

- Halloween: Romantic Art and Customs Of Yesteryear Postcard B
- Customs?...what customs? This is just a collection of tear-out postcard reprints with no comments, far less writing, to go along with them. On top of that, none of the "notable" ones are shown (Schmucker, Clapsaddle, etc.). Another "why did I buy this?" item to put on the shelf.
