Now it's mostly
Halloween cards
that have witches, such as this adorable little girl witch with her cat
by Frances Brundage, copyrighted in 1910. The card at the right is an
earlier
one with the Salem witch hunt as a theme. The last year
of the
great witch hunt that resulted in the deaths of many innocent people
(including
an ancestor, Mary Parker of Andover). Copyright, 1903, by G. Willis

fat and witches lean ..
By coal black cats with eyes of green,
By all the magic ever seen ...
I wish you luck this Hallowe'en" Right: Embossed Hallowe'en Greetings by Frances Brundage
