Text on Card

A HALLOWE'EN CHORUS IN VARIOUS KEYS, LED BY A. GREEMEY, AND CERTAIN TO PLEASE.

Description

A cheerful red border frames the backdrop for this delightfully eerie Halloween greeting card from the early 1900s, where a green-spotted figure in a dotted costume carries a broomstick horizontally while black cats appear throughout — one atop a jack-o'-lantern, one on the broomstick, and others at the edges. The card's playful verse reads 'A Hallowe'en Chorus in various Keys, Led by A. Greemey, and certain to please.' This design exemplifies early 1900s Halloween card aesthetics with whimsical character studies.
