Text on Card
'Tis Hallowe'en Take care! Beware!

Children in period costume cower on a sandy ground beneath a crescent moon and flying bat, while jack-o'-lanterns glow mysteriously below. The ornate gold-leaf border frames this whimsical scene with classic early 20th-century sophistication. The bold "Take care! Beware!" message emphasizes the season's mischievous spirit, blending genuine fright with innocent fun—a charming snapshot of how Halloween was celebrated during the turn of the century.
