A pumpkin head carved as an angler fish, seen at Headley in Surrey
Summary
edit| Description |
English: The custom of carving lantern heads from root vegetables was transformed when nineteenth-century Americans began using pumpkins instead. Reintroduced to Britain, the heads have become a theme for folk art. In America they are known as jack-o’-lanterns, after a regional name for the will–o’-the-wisp.
