This is a vintage Halloween postcard with a whimsical illustration and text. The postcard is divided into two sections. The left side features a large, ornate initial letter 'H' in red, with the words 'HALLOWEEN PRECAUTIONS' in red lettering above it. Below the letter, there is a poem written in a decorative, cursive font. The poem reads: "If you take ten seeds From A pumpkin shell And go to the woods Where the witches dwell Plant them in front Of the door in A cross You will be rid of them Without remorse." The left side has a decorative border with floral and vine motifs. The right side of the postcard features an illustration of a witch riding a broomstick across a large, pale yellow moon. The witch is dressed in a dark, flowing robe and a pointed hat. She is holding a broomstick with both hands and appears to be flying at a fast pace. The moon is surrounded by a dark blue sky. The bottom of the right side has a decorative border with bat motifs. The overall style of the postcard is reminiscent of early 20th-century Halloween imagery, with a focus on folklore and superstition. The colors are muted and the illustration is detailed and charming.
