Winged figures drift through a field of wheat and poppies on this lace-edged card, the fairies themselves more delicate than the flowers they hover over. Cards of this kind were popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when printers cut paper lace and embossed scraps into greeting cards for birthdays, holidays and sentimental keepsakes. The mix of fairies with a field of grain and poppies reflects a taste for nature imagery that made these small cards a favorite with children and collectors alike. Poppies in particular carry a long association with remembrance and sleep, so the pairing is worth noticing for anyone looking closely at the scene.
