Vintage Halloween Greetings Card Black Cat Pumpkin Victorian

Here's the contradiction: a card meant to spread festive autumn cheer instead presents a disembodied black cat head floating above a suspended stack of what appears to be a pumpkin planter overflowing with foliage and a white ghost-like hanging form, all presiding over a grinning jack-o-lantern base — essentially a decapitated cat hovering above a produce totem pole. The accompanying poem, rendered in that precious Victorian mixed-case font, solemnly informs us that witches 'might be seen' and that some of them are 'like a turkey bean,' which is either profound botanical horror or the most aggressively mediocre rhyme scheme in holiday card history. The whole composition — cat head, dangling ghost, smirking pumpkin face, cascading grapes and leaves — has the chaotic energy of someone who was asked to 'make it Halloween' and absolutely did not stop themselves.
