Description

AN ORIGINAL, THE MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL, SUNDAY OCTOBER 25th, 1908 HALLOWEEN PAGE.
Incredible newspaper page from the festivities of Halloween in 1908. This page has it all, Witches, JOLs, costumes, etc...
At one time, a very smart owner laminated the page air tight so that it can be preserved for many more decades without ever been damaged by handling.
The lamination process for such an item was not easy because of its size. It was professionally laminated to be displayed.
Professionally laminating such an item today would cost several hundreds of dollars.
The d
imensions are
22.5 inches x 17 inches
. Perfect and ready to be framed.
This is NOT a copy or a reproduction. T
his piece surely belongs in any Halloween collection.
Today, similar mass produced modern prints sold by Art Galleries sell for several hundreds of dollars, if not thousands.
This item belongs in a place for all to see, and surely an original conversation piece from 110 years.
All of our postcards are genuine and authentic. We do not sell reproductions.
We try to sell complete sets. We also like to put together postcards from the same series.
It can take years in trying to complete a set from a specific series. This will allow the collector to put together a collecton in a much shorter period of time. The time, money and effort spent in trying to locate specific Halloween postcards in completing a set warrants a premium in price.
We love Halloween postcards postally used on October 31st. From a collector's perspective, collecting them used on October 31st brings the joy to another level, and because they are scarce, prices will reflect it. In rare instances, you can find a postcard used on October 31st with a postmark from a well known town with a notorious reputation.
We do not take pictures with a cell phone or a camera. All of our pictures are scanned using a high resoluton scanner, so every detail can be seen including the many Halloween postcards that are embossed.
With a high quality scanner, you can clearly see these embossed details.
Scanning also elimates any glare or flash that can discolor the picture. Our descriptions of the postcards will be straight forward, emphasizing on the maker, artist, etc... Each buyer and seller has their own view on the condition of a postcard, therefore we feel that it is very important to give you the best possible picture.
When postcards are postally used, we cannot expect them to be perfect, nor we would want them to be.
