Description: Up for bid is a wonderful vintage Halloween postcard. I'm certain that Samuel Schmucker, one of the most prolific and talented artists of vintage holiday Winsch postcards, has provided this wonderful lithographic illustration of a lovely post-Victorian era lady wearing a shroud and holding a jack 'o-lantern. Two owls can be seen perched on one of the nearby tree branches as the full moon rises over the horizon behind them. When you supersize image 1 you can see how Schmucker has wonderfully captured the moment. The artistry is exceptional and the colors are still vivid. Printed in pre-WWI Germany by John Winsch in 1911, this beautifully embossed card has not been posted and has no handwriting on the divided "Winsch" back. These Schmucker postcards tend to be scarce and expensive, and this one is in excellent condition. Better bid now, before another collector takes this one away for good. LADY WEARS SHROUD Uns.
