Here a winged fairy hovers over a small bouquet, a sentimental motif that was common on greeting cards in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Get well cards like this one were often sent to the sick or convalescent, and printers turned out large runs with pretty figures, floral borders and short verses meant to lift the spirits. The fairy, borrowed from a long tradition of illustrated children's books and Victorian fancy, reflects how that era blended folklore, romance and piety into everyday sentiment. Cards such as this one were handled, kept in albums and tucked into letters, so they often survive in worn condition.
