Text on Card
Good Luck for Halloween On Halloween we'll cast a Spell, The Witches will our Fortunes tell; Be true to one, I will try to find - I wonder who has me in Mind.
Description
Unusual for its era, this Victorian-era Halloween greeting card pairs cheerful charm with genuinely spooky imagery. A young witch in a pointed black hat with a golden band wears a bright red cape and crouches beside a bubbling black cauldron with a mischievous, delighted expression. A black cat sits nearby, completing the classic Halloween scene. The background depicts a moody twilight forest with bare trees and bats in flight, rendered in soft blues and grays. The text reads "Good Luck for Halloween" in elegant period script, accompanied by a verse wishing Halloween joy and fortune.
