Text on Card

Hear ye! All people with a funny bone will take note, that the utmost merriment will prevail when all good ghosts walk on HALLOW E'EN. Signed King Pump + Vine

Description

A black cat sits watchfully beside a delightfully whimsical early 1900s Halloween greeting card that features an anthropomorphic jack-o'-lantern gentleman dressed in formal attire—complete with top hat, tailcoat, and corn cob worn as a chest decoration. The figure has a carved pumpkin head with an exaggerated grin, root or vegetable-like feet, and is posed next to a scroll bearing the card's humorous text. The text announces that merriment will prevail when all good ghosts walk on Halloween, signed by King Pump and Vine.
