Vintage Halloween Greeting Card Woman Pumpkin Edwardian Era
Text on Card
A HAPPY HALLOWEEN HALLOWEEN OCT 31 A PUMPKIN HEAD I WOULD LIKE TO BE IF IN YOUR ARMS YOU WOULD TAKE ME
Description
An ornate period frame and rich lithographic artistry provide the setting for this charming Edwardian-era Halloween greeting card. Within this elegant composition, a woman in a flowing pale gown holds an oversized jack-o'-lantern, while a mischievous jack-o'-lantern head and black cat sit at the card's base. Playful witch/clown figures appear in the upper right and lower left corners, with two lit candles flanking the central scene. The poetic verse reads: 'A Pumpkin Head I would like to be / If in your arms you would take me,' capturing the romantic sentimentality characteristic of turn-of-the-century cards and their classic decorative flourishes.
