EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming print titled "Three children in costume with a turnip lantern for Halloween in October 1979" we are transported back to the nostalgic era of the 1970s. The image captures three young kids, brimming with excitement and creativity, as they celebrate Halloween in their quaint costumes. Decked out in hats and colorful attire, these imaginative youngsters embody the spirit of the season. Their faces radiate joy and anticipation as they proudly display their homemade outfits. But what truly steals the show is the turnip lantern held by one of them – a unique twist on traditional pumpkin carving. This snapshot not only showcases adorable children embracing Halloween festivities but also highlights an age-old tradition that has evolved over time. In earlier times, before pumpkins became popularized as jack-o'-lanterns, people used turnips or other root vegetables to create eerie glowing faces. As we delve into this moment from Memory Lane Prints' collection by NCJ, it's impossible not to reflect on our own childhood memories of trick-or-treating and dressing up for Halloween. This photograph serves as a reminder of simpler times when handmade costumes were cherished treasures and community traditions played a significant role in bringing neighborhoods together. Let this heartwarming image transport you back to an era filled with innocence and wonderment – where imagination reigned supreme during All Hallows' Eve celebrations.
