🔮Halloween Postcard Series 980🔮
🎃 DESCRIPTION
Add a touch of early 20th-century holiday humor to your collection with this rare, original antique Halloween postcard published by Julius Bien & Company. Copyrighted in 1909, this highly collectible piece belongs to the sought-after "Halloween" Series Number 980.
The front features a comical lithograph illustration titled "What the Pig tho't of the Ghost." It captures a mischievous farm scene where a large, spotted pig happily devours the jack-o'-lantern head off a ghost scarecrow, leaving a startled boy shouting by the fence while a witch flies past a vibrant crescent moon. The reverse showcases the distinctive Julius Bien keystone logo and features a beautiful, clean back with an elegant, all-over floral pattern embossed directly into the cardstock.
Perfect for framing, holiday decor, or direct addition to an ephemera collection.
