Text on Card

Should black cats cross your path, Do you know what they mean? We are waiting watch out For To-night's HALLOWEEN

Description

Warm orange and golden tones saturate this charming Halloween greeting card, rendered against a cream background in lithograph form. An anthropomorphic jack-o'-lantern with a cheerful, gap-toothed grin serves as the focal point, with three mischievous black cats visible — two peering from behind the pumpkin and one at the lower left. Silhouetted bats flutter across the pale sky above, while the card's message playfully warns of black cats crossing one's path and hints at supernatural mischief afoot. This piece captures the whimsical spirit of early Halloween celebrations.
