Here a fairy is paired with bird's foot trefoil, a low meadow plant whose yellow flowers and slender seed pods are said to resemble a bird's foot. Set as a repeating design, the figure is meant to be seen again and again across a surface, as on wallpaper or fabric. Pictures of flower fairies like this one became popular in the early twentieth century, when illustrators such as Cicely Mary Barker gave wild plants small winged companions. Look at how the artist balances the delicate plant forms against the fairy figure, which keeps the pattern light and easy to read.
