Text on Card
Charms of the Witching Hour Meet an Owl on Halloween Just before the moon doth rise Pluck a feather and eat it for the charm is a prize And a proposer you'll have Before next sunrise
Description
A wide-eyed owl perches prominently against a heart-shaped shield on this charming early 1900s Halloween greeting card. Above the heart, a green witch face wearing a pointed hat is flanked by a broom, while the title reads 'Charms of the Witching Hour' and includes a verse about meeting an owl on Halloween. Golden yellow tones contrast beautifully with the deep navy background. The decorative composition features a leafy botanical branch on which the owl settles, with the word 'Hallowe'en' in golden script at the bottom.
