Ghost Turnip

Linocut print on kitakata paper.

This guy is inspired by the “ghost turnip” plaster-cast model in the National Museum of Ireland that was created by museum artist Eileen Barnes from a turnip jack-o-lantern donated in 1943 by Roos Ní Braonáin, a school teacher with a desire to preserve the history of the style of Jack-o-lanterns that were popular in Ireland in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

In the states today, carved pumpkin jack-o-lanterns have become completely ubiquitous in late October. This tradition actually comes to us from Irish and Scottish immigrants who brought over the practice of carving faces into turnips/other locally-available root vegetables & lighting them from inside with a candle around Samhain.

The terminology “jack-o-lantern” has a particularly storied past: It’s usage in the 1600s was basically interchangeable with “will-o-the-wisps” which refers to mysterious, ghostly lights seen over peat bogs. It isn’t until the 1800s that we see the term “jack-o-lantern” used to refer to a carved vegetable. It’s believed the term is derived from an Irish folktale about a fiend named Jack who tricked the devil and must wander the earth for all eternity with just a (turnip) lantern to light his way; Stingy Jack, Jack-of-the-lantern, jack-o-lantern.
