Halloween and the Minnesota snowball

Halloween and the Minnesota snowball

This cartoon by Charles Lewis Bartholomew was probably published in The Minneapolis Journal between 1898 and 1915 and was probably one of many that he drew to illustrate the daily weather forecast.

Library of Congress description: Two figures are shown standing outdoors in the snow, one with a jack-o-lantern head and the other with a snowball for a head. The jack-o-lantern wears a bow tie labled “Halloween” and holds a party horn. From the corner of its mouth, smoky breath eminates, perhaps serving as an indication of the cold temperature. The snowball, in mittens and a tie labled “Minnesota Snowball,” stands next to the jack-o-lantern holding one hand to his mouth.
