Vintage Halloween Witch Greeting Card | Early 1900s Pumpkin

Meet the jack-o'-lantern-headed child witch — complete with pointy black hat, red skirt, and green shoes — who grins maniacally while stirring a bubbling cauldron that's emitting what appears to be a ghostly white wisp, all while casually leaning against a spotted mushroom like it's a Tuesday. Up in the crescent moon-lit sky, a black cat rides a broomstick, presumably the 'black hoodoo' referenced in the card's genuinely unhinged warning text: 'Beware of a witch and a black hoodoo, For they are a coming to capture you.' The combination of a beaming pumpkin child, open flame, spectral cauldron smoke, and explicit kidnapping threats presents the kind of aggressively cheerful threat that would today result in a strongly worded PTA email.
