Witches and black cats are the signature pair of this early Halloween postcard, which turns a familiar folk-horror scene into a cheerful greeting. Holiday postcards like this one were produced in large numbers in the early twentieth century, when mailing a card was a common way to send seasonal wishes to friends and family. Artists of the period often mixed harmless spookiness, such as broomsticks, moons and pumpkins, with bright colors and playful captions, so the card reads more as a festive wish than a scare. Its bold illustration shows how the holiday's imagery was being shaped into the lighthearted style still familiar today.
