A Jolly Hallowe'en

Description

"A Jolly Halloween" reads the banner framing this charming Victorian-era greeting card, which features a whimsical witch in red robes and pointed hat wielding a broomstick, accompanied by a mischievous green scarecrow figure. Set against a pastoral landscape with water and distant trees, the scene captures the playful spirit of turn-of-the-century Halloween celebrations. The hand-colored chromolithograph showcases the era's characteristic bright palette and decorative typography. Flying overhead, a small owl adds to the festive spooky atmosphere.
