The geranium that gives this fairy her name is what sets her apart from the many other fairy subjects of her era. Eight identical figures share the sheet, each meant to be cut out and pasted onto a box, jar, or piece of stationery. Repeated label designs like this were common in the late 1800s and early 1900s, when color printing made bright decorative motifs inexpensive. Fairies of this kind trace back to sprite illustrations such as Richard Doyle's, and their place among the angels here shows how loosely the board groups supernatural figures.
