Text on Card
HALLOWEEN Listen, Little One! On Hallowe'en throw an Apple Peeling over your shoulder and if it spells kiss go to it. Its bound to work, girls. Any old thing looks like kiss to the right fellow if the time, place and the girl are there. O.U. Kid.
Description
An ornate circular medallion adorned with golden Art Nouveau flourishes frames a young couple in period dress sharing an intimate moment on the verge of a kiss. This enchanting Halloween greeting card captures the romantic spirit of late Victorian celebrations through its elaborate composition and warm color palette—rich golds, greens, and orange tones that create an inviting atmosphere. Classic Halloween imagery including a carved jack-o'-lantern, a standing witch in a pointed hat, a black cat, a candle, and a bat enhance the seasonal theme throughout the design. A verse by 'O.U. Kid.' at the bottom humorously advises girls to throw an apple peeling over their shoulder on Halloween to spell out a kiss.
