A winged fairy hovers in a waterfall canyon, with a rainbow arching through the spray behind her. The pairing of a figure with a cascade and a rainbow draws on a long tradition in which the rainbow marks a boundary between the ordinary world and something more luminous. Illustrators of the late 1800s and early 1900s often set fairies in wild, romantic scenery like this, partly to suggest that the natural world still held hidden, enchanted life. The image sits within the board's religious and angelic themes, where winged figures typically signal a message passing between realms.
