Jack-o'-lanterns

Forever 47￠ | Book of 20

In the spirit of Halloween, the U.S. Postal Service® issues these delightfully eerie stamps featuring photographs of four different jack-o’-lanterns. These creatively carved pumpkins have been symbols of Halloween in the United States since the late 19th century, not long after celebrations of the holiday began here.

The jack-o’-lanterns were carved by Paul Montanari and photographed by Sally Andersen-Bruce.
