Eight identical labels sit on one sheet, each showing a fairy paired with Canterbury bells, the garden flower whose name refers to the medieval pilgrims who traveled to Canterbury Cathedral. Sheets like this were typical of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when printers produced cut-out scraps and decorative labels for greeting cards, gift tags, and scrapbooks. Fairy imagery was especially popular then, and the repetition was practical: a single sheet could be cut apart and used many times. The record gives few further details, but the mix of flower symbolism and sentimental fairy motifs reflects the taste of the period.
