Vintage Halloween Postcard

A Merry Halloween—Girl in Jack-O'-Lantern with Owl, Man in the Moon, and Black Cats An early twentieth-century postcard with a surreal Halloween scene. The illustration depicts a fashionably dressed little girl (or is she a young witch with a pointed but brimless hat?) who is standing in a huge smoky jack-o'-lantern (or could it be a steaming witch's cauldron?) while she holds another smaller lantern in her hands. An owl is perched on the smaller jack-o'-lantern, and two sphinx-like black cats stand guard in front. Craggy rocks jut up against a star-studded night-time sky in the background. The man in the moon looks down from above, peering around the smoky steam as he tries to figure out what's going on. Quite the setting for A Merry Halloween!
