Vintage Witch Halloween Greeting Card - Early 1900s Flying Broomstick Art

This is a story of a woman who has decided that flying over a cliff's edge on a broomstick with a macabre bat entourage is the ideal mode of transportation for her Halloween evening. She's elegantly dressed — all flowing gray skirts, a dramatic red-lined cape, and red heels — with her tall pointed hat tilted at the angle of someone who has made several questionable life choices, her long dark hair streaming behind her as she leans into the wind with the casual energy of a woman running late to a coven board meeting. The soft, painterly pastel palette — all dusty pinks and muted grays — is doing absolutely nothing to mask the fact that witches were apparently not haggard old crones in Edwardian times, and someone, somewhere, thought this was an appropriate thing to send a loved one to wish them a Happy Halloween.
