HALLOWEN

Description

A glowing yellow moon provides the backdrop for this charming early-20th-century Halloween greeting card, against which a whimsical witch in flight takes center stage. The figure wears a pointed hat and an orange/tan outfit while soaring on a classic broomstick, while below, a curious child in brown overalls gazes upward at the scene. The soft color palette and gentle illustration style reflect the genteel aesthetic of Edwardian-era holiday ephemera, when Halloween imagery favored charm over fright.
