Vintage Halloween Greeting Card with Jack-o'-Lanterns & Black Cats
Text on Card
We, the punkins and the old black cats, The witch, the moon and the bats Send GREETINGS on Halloween.
Description
Rendered in vibrant chromolithographic detail, this card depicts four carved jack-o'-lanterns sitting atop a fence with varying expressions of Halloween spirit. Black cats appear throughout the composition—one arched dramatically in the middle foreground near the house steps, another positioned in the lower-left corner—rather than perched on the fence post itself. A witch on a broomstick flies past a crescent moon in the upper right, completing the autumnal scene.
