The record gives only the title "Handmade by," which breaks off before naming a maker, so who created this piece and where it was made are unknown. Its place on the Angels and Fairies board, under religious occasions, fits a long tradition of small devotional and seasonal images in which winged messengers and gossamer-winged fairies often appear together. Hand-colored cards and decorative pictures of this kind were commonly made for holidays, christenings and memorials and passed among family and friends. Looking closely at the wings, faces and borders can show the care that went into each one.
