A blackberry fairy, a small winged figure paired with the bramble fruit, is the subject here, and the card topper format suggests it was meant to be cut out or affixed to a greeting card as a decorative accent. Fairies of this kind became widely popular in the 1920s, when Cicely Mary Barker's Flower Fairies illustrations paired each fairy with a particular wild plant. Such images were often sentimental and seasonal, and they were produced in large numbers for Victorian and Edwardian-era paper goods. Notice the fine detail in the wings and the way the figure is set against its natural motif.
