Halloween is here. Pull the shutters good & tight Or you may get an awful fright
Description
A bold orange background frames this striking Art Deco Halloween greeting card, which features a woman in a flowing pink dress leaning toward a sideboard or mantelpiece displaying a glowing jack-o'-lantern and other decorative items. Silhouetted bats fly across the upper portion, creating dramatic contrast with the vivid backdrop. The card's witty verse warns that Halloween has arrived and closing the shutters is wise, lest something frightful occur. This charming yet slightly unsettling design captures the playful spookiness of 1920s holiday celebrations, blending elegant figure drawing with macabre imagery.
