OCTOBER 31ST HALLOWE'EN GREETINGS

Description

A decorative border of flowers frames this charming Victorian-era Halloween greeting card, which showcases the holiday's earliest American aesthetic. Three large pumpkin heads with expressive, somewhat eerie human-like faces dominate the composition, rendered in warm golden-orange tones against a darker background. The bold red lettering spelling 'OCTOBER 31ST' commands the center, with 'HALLOWE'EN GREETINGS' written below it. A small pumpkin-headed child-like figure appears in the lower right corner, holding what appears to be a book or card, while a crescent moon is visible in the upper left background.

Subjects

jack-o-lanterns, pumpkins, pumpkin-headed figure (child-like character with pumpkin head), decorative floral borders, moon, night sky
