Old Style & New Halloween Greeting Card Victorian Witch

The witch is inexplicably shorter and stubbier than the elegant modern woman beside her, creating a visual hierarchy that seems to suggest height itself is a symptom of fashion progress. Nothing says 'Happy Halloween' like a generational fashion feud between this diminutive witch clutching a cauldron and a black cat versus a tall, elegantly dressed woman in a dark blue ensemble and a jaunty feathered hat holding what appears to be a small white fluffy accessory — because nothing terrifies the Edwardian soul like a woman with better posture and a hat with red feathers. The witch, draped in a red cape over white skirts and sporting the regulation pointy black hat, is gesturing with raised hand as if explaining, for the thousandth time, why the old ways are superior, while the modern woman stares back with the blank confidence of someone who has already won. The card's caption 'Old Style and New' does the heavy lifting of pretending this is about Halloween traditions, when clearly it's about two women having a deeply passive-aggressive disagreement about who dressed better, which, honestly, is the most relatable Halloween content produced before 1920.
