Vintage Halloween Greeting Card Witch Illustration Early 1900s
Text on Card
HALLOWEEN GREETINGS. If you should see a witch or two, I hope they will not frighten you.
Description
Framed within a composition of soft pastels and period detail, a central child figure in a pink dress covers their face with their hands, surrounded by small witch figures in pointed hats rendered in green, blue, and rust tones. The witches gather around the frightened or hiding child, while the printed greeting text extends warm wishes that witches won't frighten, revealing the card's humorous intent. This delightfully eerie Edwardian-era Halloween greeting balances whimsy with an oddly unsettling charm.
