{"title":"May fortune's lantern burn serene: An analysis of golden age Halloween postcards as middle-class promotional culture","authors":"Adrienne Darrah","doi":"10.1111/jacc.13580","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/jacc.13580","url":null,"abstract":"<p>Collecting Halloween postcards has become increasingly popular in modern times (Hughes & Kinsella, <span>1998</span>; Nicholson, <span>1994</span>). A quick search of the auction website eBay at any given moment returns thousands of Halloween postcards available for auction or purchase. While the demand and value of postcards continues to wane, the demand and value of Halloween postcards from the early twentieth century is high, with some of the rarest postcards fetching hundreds of dollars.</p><p>Dating from approximately 1900 to 1920 and aided by a rise in mass production and mass distribution, the golden age of postcards coincided with the introduction of the middle class and increases in mass consumption in the United States. As the middle class grew, a renegotiation of the power structure between men and women ensued (Gifford, <span>2013</span>, <span>2016</span>; Simmons, <span>2003</span>). Due to the changes in the power dynamic between the genders, women not only began to network outside of the home but also participated in the creation and dissemination of sociocultural norms.</p><p>As women became responsible for purchasing their households' goods and services, many agreed they were becoming the country's primary purchasers (Golia, <span>2016</span>; Hirshon, <span>2020</span>; Williams, <span>2017</span>). This newfound responsibility helped women express themselves in ways they had been unable to do so before. Sending turn of the century postcards became a way for women to firmly establish and promote their importance while communicating how they desired to see their world.</p><p>Antithetical to the popularity of golden age postcards' is the seemingly innocuous nature of the ephemera. The mass adoption of holiday postcard exchange by middle-class women during this time justifies postcards finding their place as an extension of the turn of the century promotional culture. Extending beyond advertising and marketing, promotional culture has come to encompass all types of messaging meant to influence society including communications associated with public relations, propaganda, entertainment, and the news, to name a few (Wernick, <span>1988</span>).</p><p>As cultural artifacts, golden age postcards are emblematic of the sociocultural values that were introduced and perpetuated in the early twentieth century. This study aims to illustrate that golden age Halloween postcards intended to serve as a means of empowerment for early middle-class women as has been posited by Daniel Gifford in his <i>American Holiday Postcards, 1905–1915: Imagery and Context</i> (<span>2013</span>). In addition, this study will also illustrate the unspoken fears that troubled these women. Though not limited to the following, these unspoken fears include failing to find love and marriage and failing to keep children at a high level of society.</p><p>In an effort to emulate the elite-class's tradition of exchanging Christmas and Valentine's Day greeting card","PeriodicalId":44809,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF AMERICAN CULTURE","volume":"47 3","pages":"218-230"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jacc.13580","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142313343","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
