Vintage Halloween Greeting Card with Witch and Pumpkin, Early 1900s
Text on Card
May you have a most thrilling Hallowe'en!
Description
From the early 20th century comes a delightfully whimsical Halloween greeting card featuring a flying witch in silhouette on the left, complete with pointed hat and long dark hair, soaring through a golden autumn sky on a broomstick. On the right, two children peek out from within a giant orange pumpkin suspended by strings, their arms outstretched. A crescent moon appears on the left side of the card. The warm ochre background sets a magical, festive tone perfect for the season. The hand-lettered message reads 'May you have a most thrilling Hallowe'en,' capturing the playful spirit of vintage holiday celebrations when Halloween imagery emphasized enchantment and gentle frights rather than gore.
