HALLOWE'EN GREETINGS

Description

A witch crouches menacingly over a large jack-o'-lantern with her broomstick resting beside her, her gaunt face twisted in a sinister expression in this delightfully spooky Halloween greeting card. Two mischievous red demons or imps flank the scene from above, grinning wickedly, while a black cat crouches near the glowing pumpkin below. The bold chromolithographic printing features rich earth tones, deep blacks, and striking details that exemplify the artistic approach to Halloween celebrations during the Edwardian era, when the holiday was gaining popularity in American popular culture, and showcases classic early-20th-century holiday imagery.
