Almond blossom is the detail that sets this design apart: its pale pink flowers are drawn across the sheet with the fairy figure set among the branches rather than at the center of the composition. The "fairy" in the title belongs to the decorative fashion of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when illustrators popularized gauzy winged figures in gift books, greeting cards and seasonal ephemera. Paper like this was often printed in sheets for wrapping presents, so it sits at the crossroads of domestic decoration and the illustrated trade. Its place on a board of angels and fairies reflects how these figures blurred the line between the sacred and the sentimental in popular art.
