This is a vintage Halloween postcard from 1914. The background is a pale, mottled green. The central image is a large, white, oval-shaped plate or platter. Within the platter, a witch is riding a corn stalk like a boat through a cloudy sky. She's wearing a pointed hat and flowing robes, and is steering with a broom. A crescent moon and a ringed planet are visible in the sky. To the left of the platter is a red devil figure, and to the right is a stack of orange pumpkins topped with an owl. The text 'Hallowe'en Opening' is written in ornate, colorful lettering at the top left. The overall style is whimsical and illustrative, typical of early 20th-century Halloween imagery. At the bottom of the image, there is a small text that says 'DESIGN COPYRIGHTED, JOHN WINSCH, 1914'.
