Wishing you a highly entertaining Hallowe’en

NOTE:
This Halloween card is illustrated by American commercial artist Ellen Clapsaddle, known for her holiday themed postcards in the late 19th and early 20th century and highly collectable today. Working with publishers in Germany in the 1900’s -10s, Ellen ended up lost, penniless and alone after World War I broke out.
