Merry Halloween from Brunswick, Maine, 1943

Merry Halloween from Brunswick, Maine, 1943
Yet another Halloween photo for the Vintage Photos Theme Park.

A real photo postcard with a Halloween portrait of kids (including twins?), a cat, and a jack-o'-lantern all posing on the front porch (see also a cropped version of the photo). The family sent this as a Christmas greeting (notice the decorative holly leaves and berries added at the bottom) to Miss Geneva B. Haley, Cornish, Maine. The card was postmarked in Brunswick, Maine, on December 17, 1943.

Handwritten message on the other side: "Yours was a lovely card. Peter read it to the other children. It's their favorite Christmas carol. Greetings from all, Cecil & Marion."

I don't recall ever seeing any other Halloween-themed Christmas cards.

It's a perfect addition to the Vintage Miserable Families - that's for sure!

Haha! This is the perfect awkward family photo. They all look so gloomy.
