Vintage Halloween Greeting Card Black Cat Moon 1900s

What's going on with that cat's spine? Perched atop the fence with the unhinged spinal curvature of someone who just received a surprise tax bill, this black cat has chosen violence — specifically, the aesthetic violence of silhouetting itself against a full yellow moon while two bats circle overhead like tiny winged witnesses to its breakdown. The moon is comically oversized, because apparently in 1920s Halloween logic, the entire celestial sphere relocated to hover directly behind one agitated fence cat. Below this scene of feline existential crisis, 'Greetings for Aallowe'en' is printed in cheerful cursive — complete with a suspiciously doubled 'A' that suggests either a typo or a printer who was also having a bad night.
