Vintage Halloween Witch Greeting Card Early 1900s

A pigtailed child in a green dress dangling her chubby legs in black shoes from inside a yellow crescent moon—with an open-mouthed expression suggesting she just remembered leaving the cauldron on—somehow manages to embody pure adorableness while radiating the energy of a tiny chaos agent who has absolutely no idea how witchcraft works. The oversized witch's hat and little red bow accessories only amplify the effect. Add the cursive 'Halloween' floating in the sky like a poltergeist's signature and the pun-tastic 'It's awful scare-y being a Witch!' and you've got a card clearly designed to delight children and grandmothers, which instead reads as evidence that the Edwardian era had profoundly different standards for what constitutes a threatening supernatural entity.
