Here a young girl wears a pair of large, butterfly-like wings, a fanciful touch that places her somewhere between an angel and a fairy. Die-cut scraps like this were popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when chromolithographed paper cutouts were made in bulk by printers in Europe and America. Children and hobbyists pasted them into scrapbooks, decorated cards and albums, and used them for holiday greetings, where the bright colors and sentimental poses were the main appeal. Pieces of this kind offer a useful glimpse into how cheerful, winged figures moved between religious imagery and everyday popular art.
