A Jolly Halloween
Description
"A Jolly Hallowe'en" reads the greeting on this charming early 1900s Halloween card, which captures the innocence and joy of turn-of-the-century holiday celebrations. Two children interact playfully with an oversized jack-o-lantern, with a full moon visible through a window in the background. The boy, dressed in period attire with knickers, appears to be rolling or pushing the carved pumpkin on a wheelbarrow while a girl in a simple dress watches. A small dog adds a charming touch to the scene.
