Vintage Victorian Halloween Greeting Card with Witch & Jack-o'-Lantern

The multicolored flames writhing behind the witches on their broomsticks—rendering them as though auditioning for a hellish interpretive dance recital—set the stage for a child in a star-spangled bonnet and tiny red shoes standing with hands on hips, gazing with the serene detachment of someone who has absolutely seen witches erupt from a jack-o-lantern before and is frankly bored by it. The jack-o-lantern itself sports a wide, toothy grin and cut-out eyes that somehow manage to look smug, which is impressive for a gourd. The whole scene is captioned 'A Starry Halloween,' which is doing an enormous amount of heavy lifting to make this seem festive rather than deeply unhinged.
