HALLOWEEN WISHES Tho witches ride through midnights gloom, Fear not what they may do For I have bade each wield her broom To sweep good luck to you!
Description
This enchanting Halloween greeting card exemplifies early 1900s Art Nouveau design with its striking chromolithographic composition. A whimsical witch figure emerges from a bold burnt-orange moon, presiding over a procession of three silhouetted black cats that march across the card's lower border. The handwritten sentiment conveys traditional Halloween wishes: "Tho witches ride through midnights gloom / Fear not what they may do / For I have bade each wield her broom / To sweep good luck to you!" This charming message transforms spooky imagery into heartfelt well-wishes, a hallmark of early 20th-century holiday card sentimentality.
