Description
Sporting a red star-adorned jacket and tall boots, a jack-o'lantern-headed figure rides a prancing white horse across this Victorian-era Halloween card, broom held high above a brick cottage. The grinning pumpkin character creates an oddly cheerful tone against the spooky setting, while silhouetted black cats tumble across the ground below in a detailed English country scene ripe for Halloween mischief.
