Text on Card
For Auld Lang Syne this Hallowe'en
Description
Unusual for its era, this Edwardian-era Halloween greeting card pairs a green (not orange) anthropomorphic jack-o'-lantern with New Year's Scottish sentiment. The pumpkin-headed figure wears a dark coat and holds or stands behind a large circular wreath decorated with berries or grapes in blue and green tones. The text wishes recipients 'For Auld Lang Syne this Hallowe'en,' blending the Scottish New Year tradition with Halloween festivities. The border is filled with small circular vignettes of smiling human-like faces.
