The Geranium Fairy here appears more than once on a single printed sheet, so the design was meant to be cut apart, pasted into scrapbooks, or sold as ready-made decoration. Flower fairies like this one became popular in Britain and America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when artists paired blossoms with small winged figures in a gentle, storybook style. Cicely Mary Barker's Flower Fairies books, first published in 1923, helped make the genre familiar to generations of children. Look closely at the repeated figure to see how the printer arranged the motif across the sheet.
