The Blackberry Fairy is a winged figure who appears again and again across this sheet, each one set among bramble leaves and fruit. The character comes from the flower fairy illustrations of Cicely Mary Barker, whose painted sprites, each linked to a particular plant, were widely reproduced in books, cards and gift wrap from the 1920s on. Her work blended close botanical observation with a gentle, sentimental tone that appealed to children and their parents alike. Filed under angels and fairies, the sheet shows how a figure from the nursery could move into everyday decorative goods.
