Vintage Halloween Postcard

I hope you don't mind all of the Halloween stuff. It's my favorite time of the year, and when I find something spooky cool, I have to share it 🎃

This was published by Whitney. You can tell by the illustration style.  Still not sure who the artist was. Hope you like it! I removed the text also, so you can add your own or use it for a Halloween journal card.

Winsch Halloween Postcard 1911

John Winsch was a postcard publisher in business between about 1907 to 1915. He used various artists, including Samuel Schmucker, for his cards. I think this card is Schmucker's, it looks like his work. I love this one!

Vintage Halloween Postcard

There are several versions of this Taggart postcard, the most common one I've seen has a witch inside the pumpkin. This one features two rather surprised kids who will probably end up kissing unexpectedly! This was published in 1908.

Free Shabby Journal Card

I almost forgot to post this today! Sorry about that!  

I made another journal card by photoshopping vintage postcard, then added an aged background and a dot overlay.  This is a very different style than what I sell in my Etsy shop, and I like doing these because it gets me thinking.  I love shabby graphics so I'm like, what am I going to make today and how do I get it looking vintage.

Halloween Pumpkin Witch Postcard Free Download

This is one of the slightly less common pumpkin girl postcards that Whitney published. I have no idea what the black hoodoo is, maybe the magic she's cooking up in the cauldron? Anyway, hope you like it!!

Vintage Busy Bees ABC Children's Book

This is one of the many children's books that were published by Raphael Tuck in the early part of the 1900s. One of my favorite things about this illustration is the way Busy Bees is drawn. Hope you like it!

Vintage Halloween Precautions Postcard

The elusive E. Nash was a postcard publisher around the early 1910s and is famous for his series of Halloween postcards, both the Halloween Don'ts, and Halloween Precautions. This is one of the 6 Precautions postcards. He also published many other holiday cards.

The Don'ts and Precautions are all really quirky. This one says: Avoid grinning black cats on a full green moon, If your lover is true he'll come back soon, It breaks the charm, the witches scream, and never return till next Halloween.

Happy August!  I can't believe the summer is half way over.  Makes me sad, but I love fall too!

I have a vintage postcard that has the prettiest rose frame. Here is the original (I recolored it, the background was a really dull grey) and the frame with the center removed. Hope you can use this!

Vintage Halloween Postcard - Weaver Witch

Sometimes my favorite Halloween cards aren't the most colorful. I adore this one because of the design, poem, and the lettering. This was drawn by E. Weaver, and I can't find any information about him or her. I know that they illustrated a series of postcards like this one, all with similar ink work. Hope you like this!

It also has one of those cute little turn of the century red roofed houses in the corner. I'm estimating this card as maybe 1910 or so? I could be wrong :-)

Vintage Victorian Trade Card - Witch Hazel

Such a pretty witch hazel trade card, you don't even notice that it's for piles (hemorrhoids) :-D

I love the smell of witch hazel. On really hot days I'll sometimes put it on my horse after he's had a bath. Makes him smell great!
