Summary

Snap-Apple Night, painted by Irish artist Daniel Maclise in 1833. It was inspired by a Halloween party he attended in Blarney, Ireland, in 1832. The caption in the first exhibit catalogue:

There Peggy was dancing with Dan
 While Maureen the lead was melting,
 To prove how their fortunes ran
 With the Cards ould Nancy dealt in;
 There was Kate, and her sweet-heart Will,
 In nuts their true-love burning,
 And poor Norah, though smiling still
 She'd missed the snap-apple turning.

On the Festival of Hallow Eve.
