A girl in a pansy bonnet cradles a small flower figure, and the picture sits in the gallery's Angels and Fairies group for good reason: the child and the blossom seem to share a single world. Images like this belong to the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, when illustrators and photographers often dressed children as flowers, sprites or woodland spirits. Such pictures reflected a popular fascination with nature study and the sentimental idea of childhood as close to the natural and the spiritual. Look closely at the bonnet and the figure's careful arrangement, which show how much staging went into making the scene feel enchanted.
