Vintage Halloween Greeting Card with Moon Face & Jack-O'-Lantern Corn Figure
Text on Card
Hallowe'en
Description
Combining harvest imagery with playful Halloween whimsy, this early 1900s greeting card centers on a distinctive anthropomorphic moon face as its background element, its cheerful expression gazing outward with 'Charms of the Hour' inscribed across it. A grinning jack-o'-lantern-headed figure with a corn cob body takes the foreground, dressed in a pilgrim/witch-style hat and holding a broom, silhouetted against a deep midnight blue night sky. Haystacks and harvest fields stretch below, while the flowing, ornate 'Hallowe'en' text in golden script exemplifies early 1900s typography—a charming artifact of when greeting cards embraced playful, imaginative imagery to celebrate the holiday.
