Description
Deep reds and jack-o-lantern oranges saturate this charming Edwardian-era Halloween greeting card, which depicts a startled man in formal evening attire holding a hand mirror on a candlestick stand, with a lit candle nearby. A ghostly white female figure looms behind him, while a wall clock and a black cat head are also visible in the scene. Rendered in vibrant chromolithography, the composition captures the playful spirit of early 20th-century Halloween celebrations with multiple jack-o-lantern faces adorning the rich background.
