Text on Card

A Joyful Hallowe'en to you

Description

Halloween mischief takes delightfully eerie form in this Edwardian greeting card, where a witch in flowing scarlet robes rides a broomstick across a pale cream background. The composition captures a moment of magical playfulness as the witch swoops down to scoop up a startled boy, while a black cat clings to the end of the broomstick and a bat flies overhead. A playful jack-o'-lantern with a red ribbon bow hangs suspended on the left side, creating a cohesive Halloween theme. The hand-lettered greeting "A Joyful Hallowe'en to you" completes this charming vintage card, perfect for early 20th-century holiday correspondence.
