Eight small fairies share this sheet, each built around the forget-me-not, the blue flower whose name comes from a German legend about a lover who asked to be remembered. Victorian printers produced sheets like this as decorative labels and scraps, which people pasted into albums, onto letters, or onto cards. The gauzy wings and dainty figures reflect the nineteenth-century taste for fairy imagery, which spread through children's books and parlor decoration. Worth noticing is how one motif repeated in varied forms turns a single design into a small set meant to be handled and collected.
