Mirror, Mirror on Halloween

In this 1904 Halloween greeting card, divination is depicted:
the young woman looking into a mirror in a darkened room
hopes to catch a glimpse of her future husband.

I didn't know there used to be Halloween greeting cards! I like the shadow of the witch on the wall behind her ... just for fun or a sly commentary on those who practice divination, however innocent seeming?

  1. I didn't even know they made any Halloween cards these days. But I totally believe they are lame. :-D
