Image features a woman wearing stars and stripes holding a candle to a mirror on Halloween night to learn the identity of her future spouse; the face revealed in the mirror is that of 1896 presidential candidate William McKinley. Cartoon serves as a comment on the presidential campaign of McKinley and the presumed outcome of the forthcoming election. The use of the Halloween/mirror image in this way suggests a broad cultural familiarity with the associated fortune telling game and how it was commonly depicted during this period. Published in Washington Post on October 31, 1896.
