Daniel Maclise (1811–1870): Sketch of Apple
Bobbing for the painting 'Snap-Apple Night', 1832
link
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 could 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.
