Passing Shadows Halloween
July 26th, 2011 by John Wolfe
I was talking with my mom about antique postcards the other day, and she remembered having this Halloween piece in her collection (click the image for a full view). I love all the great superstitious elements: the horseshoe pointed up to keep the luck from running out, the clock striking midnight, the spinning wheel, the black cat bristled up — and all joining together just as the witch’s silhouette passes by the window. 
The old artists did a fantastic job in bringing together so many classic elements in their depictions of Halloween at the turn of the century. I could look at vintage and antique Halloween stuff like this all day.
