 vintage halloween placecard by Rust Craft

Sane Halloween Observer

Shown below is a complete set of 12 table-setting placecards for a Halloween party by Rust Craft of Boston (who later merged with Norcross Greeting Card Company). The art exhibits the strange and surreal storybook imagery that makes their work so identifiable (particularly images like the ghost riding the black cat). These cards would come packaged in a small marked black box.

Cultural note - "Lay on, Macduff" refers to a line from Macbeth.
