Text on Card

May a nice little witch brew a Happy Halloween for you

Description

A simple decorative border frames this charming early 20th-century Halloween greeting card featuring a delightful little witch character brewing mischief with her black cat companion. The whimsical illustration shows the young child witch clad in a wide-brimmed pilgrim-style hat and red cape, stirring a steaming cauldron over an open fire while two bats swoop overhead. A black cat sits beside a broomstick on the ground. The innocent, folksy aesthetic reflects the gentler interpretation of Halloween imagery popular during this period.
