Vintage Halloween Greeting Card Jack-O'-Lanterns Victorian Era

Why are six jack-o'-lanterns of varying sizes reclining in a diagonal lineup across a hay-strewn ground like they're attending some kind of gourd intervention? Their carved faces range from mildly concerned to aggressively cheerful—basically the full emotional spectrum of someone attending a Halloween party they didn't want to go to. The largest pumpkin up front sports a wide, toothy grin that screams 'I am FINE,' while its smaller companions behind it radiate increasingly anxious energy, nestled against dried grass and bare twigs like they've been waiting there since 1907. The text 'Hallowe'en Greeting' is printed in the lower left with an inexplicable question mark worked into the 'H,' because nothing says festive seasonal cheer like typographical existential doubt, and the upper right features script reading 'Curioser and Curioser Allhallowe'en' — because apparently Victorian Halloween card writers were out here doing literary cosplay and absolutely nobody stopped them.
