A jack-o'-lantern grin and a cluster of bright, slightly ghostly figures frame the words of an old song in this embossed Halloween greeting card, titled "For Auld Lang Syne." The phrase borrows from Robert Burns's Scottish poem, which was set to a traditional melody and became associated with New Year's Eve, so pairing it with Halloween shows how publishers of the early twentieth century liked to mix seasonal sentiments. Embossed cards of this era were pressed so the raised surfaces caught the light, and their glossy colors and whimsical motifs reflect the popularity of holiday postcards and greetings at the time.
