Vintage Photos of Art Students Painting Halloween Windows in 1949

categories: 1940s, Halloween, vintage images, Vintage Photo Tuesday

As we near Halloween, I thought it would be fun for ‘Vintage Photo Tuesday‘ to showcase a collection of vintage images I recently found from ‘Archive.org. They feature art students in 1949 in the Newark, New Jersey school district painting store windows with Halloween scenes. How fun!

Let’s take a look at what I found….

Vintage Photos of Art Students Painting Halloween Windows in 1949

Students paint a window on a store selling radios, ranges and other appliances inside. Gravestone in painting reads, “”Died on Halloween Night”.

Side Note: The girl with her back to us, is wearing a sweater with Lindy Hoppers on it (swing dancers) and musicians playing big band music for them to dance too! As a Lindy Hopper myself, I am madly in love with this sweater and would give anything to own it in real life!
