Fairies perched among forget-me-nots, with butterflies drifting nearby, make up the scene in this print titled "My Thoughts are of thee." The title is a sentimental phrase of the kind common in Victorian greeting cards and keepsake albums, and the flower carries its own message, since forget-me-nots long stood for remembrance and enduring affection. Images like this were popular in the late 1800s, when illustrators created dainty fairy scenes for cards and gift books. The subject sits in the gallery's angels and fairies group, though its tone is closer to a love token than to religious art.
