🔮Halloween Postcard Scared Boy🔮
🎃 DESCRIPTION
Capture the eerie charm of early 20th-century holiday artwork with this scarce antique Halloween postcard. Published by the iconic Whitney Publishing (Whitney Made) of Worcester, Massachusetts, this richly colored, beautifully embossed lithograph features a whimsical and mildly unsettling scene of a wide-eyed, startled boy in a blue suit confronted by smiling anthropomorphic trees. A curious green frog sits next to bright red mushrooms at the base of the tree, while the lower border features a classic pumpkin jack-o'-lantern alongside a slinking black cat.
