This kind of CDV was often placed at the front of an album. This is a poetry theme with Robert Burns at the bottom and scenes of his life.
 
The text reads:
 
Should Auld Acquaintance Be Forgot.
And Never Brought To Mind?
While I've An Album To Contain
The Friends of "Auld Lang Syne".
Then Gie's Ye're "Carte"
My Trusty Friend,
And Here's A "Carte" O' Mine.
We'll Fill Our Albums To The End
Wi' The Friends
Of "Auld Lang Syne".
