Offered is an authentic antique Nash H-12 Halloween postcard, featuring a wonderfully detailed and unusual courtship scene that beautifully captures the playful folklore of early Halloween traditions.
The artwork depicts a flying witch whispering into the ear of a young woman while mischievous green imps tempt a young gentleman from the opposite side. Between them flows the word “Halloween,” while additional goblins peek from the background, creating a whimsical and highly detailed composition.
Adding to the charm is the original romantic Halloween verse:
“One bewitching miss,
One bewitching kiss,
And one good tight hug
To complete your bliss.”
Unlike many Halloween postcards that focus solely on witches or jack-o’-lanterns, this Nash H-12 design tells a complete story centered on Halloween courtship and romance, making it an especially desirable piece for collectors.
